About this deal

Elements of design are very similar to the modern bottle. Rectangular bottle and 20-degree tilted label. There is also a colourised Striding Man motif at the bottom with a list of awards won by the expression around the world at whisky tasting competitions. This sweetness is followed very closely by some rather earthy and nutty notes that coat the tongue and linger. A scattering of lightly sweet and slightly savory honey-and-sesame walnuts. On the palate, the whisky is light bodied, lightly fragrant and relatively straightforward in character. The palate is malt-heavy with an abundance of yeasty, bready, biscuity notes that take over the palate. Reminiscent of digestive biscuits and a freshly baked sweet rolls. Maltiness very gradually develops into some vanilla and oak character. Yet the differences are immediately noticeable on first nosing. It’s like night and day really. The 60’s Red Label has a lot more depth, texture, character and complexity. There is more fruitiness and creaminess in it, and feels like a three-piece orchestra composed of a cello, viola and violin. It’ll also be quite obvious to single malt drinkers that the modern Red Label relies much more heavily on grain whisky rather than malt whisky. This is clear from the obvious amount of solventy notes in its flavour profile.

On the palate, this whisky is rich, medium-heavy bodied, very well-rounded and really quite complex.With the extraordinary rise in prices with rare single malts in the secondary market, vintage blended whiskies from the 1960s – 1980s have been attracting quite a bit of attention lately for their purported quality and value for money.

Much more satisfying depth, surprisingly well-balanced and quite complex. This would really impress Johnnie Walker cynics of today and make them shed a tear for yesteryear. In fact, the “Striding Man” motif is so well-known and memorable around the world that I was told he appeared in a nightmare of Japanese novelist, Haruki Murakami, who then incorporated the Man into his best-selling novel “Kafka on the Shore” as a malevolent spirit (Image Source: Kafka on the Shore’s stage play). A great gift for someone who appreciates good whisky or who likes to try something new - if you're looking for the best present, your search is over! On the nose, the aroma is on the whole, very smooth, friendly and honeyed. The aroma opens with primarily caramel, toffee and honeyed notes that really take centre stage. One of the advantages of being a fan of whisky- over say wine or beer- is that you can relatively easily procure whiskies bottled over half a century ago in a rather good condition. A Johnnie Walker left forgotten on the shelf by your granddad in his thirties remains more or less the same condition right until it is uncorked by your own children in 2055. The same can’t always be said of wine or beer, which tend to evolve over time even after bottling.There is some similarities with the modern Red Label. As the aroma continues to open up, there are also some orange peels, notes of lavender and mild smokiness. Yet once again, the freshness of these notes is surprising and intriguing. It’s almost like this was just bottled a year ago. Johnnie Walker originates from Scotland and has grown to become a classic brand of Scotch whisky. This beverage has a distinctive flavour, which is often described as rich, dark, and almost creamy — a great whisky for connoisseurs. While blended Scotch is smooth and buttery, single malt Scotch is oaky, with more of a woody flavour. The flavour is smoky due to the barley being exposed to the peat smoke during production, and if you are a fan of this distinctive flavour, you will enjoy our selection of Johnnie Walker whiskies. pdf) Imperial Blue Whisky Price In Pune | Imperial Blue 180ml, 375ml, 750ml, 1lit Whisky Price In Pune Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Johnnie Walker Red Label is a bold, vibrant Scotch, made using only single malt and grain whiskies carefully selected when they are at their best for surges of flavour and texture

Johnnie Walker Red Label comes complete with its own box emblazoned with the limited-edition cutting-edge designAs the flavours further develop, the nutty notes turn slightly smoky, while heat and spice begin to rise towards having the spicy-sweet flavour of candied ginger.

Created with long drinks in mind, it's perfect to be enjoyed as a highball, in a tall glass filled with ice and mixed with lemonade, ginger ale or a mixer of your choice The first sip brings out lashings of strawberry jam on toast. Substantial fresh sherry notes carrying with it a moderate but satisfying level of sweetness (recall that the modern Red Label is rather contrived and saccharine). This is paired with a mild cereal note and dryness. The finish is long and refreshing but with a mentholated quality- kinda like having a diluted Moroccan mint tea, which is accompanied by a gradually fading note of aromatic incense smoke. Despite our fascination with single malts, I suspect many of these Diageo portfolio distilleries would have been mothballed in the whisky crash of the 1980s, if not for their importance to Johnnie Walker blend. So a blended whisky such as Johnnie Walker was arguably the saviour of a large number of distilleries in the Scotch world.As the aroma opens up, I start getting a light solventy note reminiscent of fresh unpeeled bananas and nail varnish that lingers for several moments. This flavour profile is really quite distinctive of many grain whiskies. The finish is relatively short, with a fading saccharine note of honey, receding tobacco smoke and some drying leatheriness.

While the modern one is an aluminium screw-cap, the 1960’s Johnnie Walker had a cork stopper with an Italian liquor tax label over it (this bottle was originally imported for the Italian market by Italian luxury goods conglomerate Wax & Vitale).
