1970’s Johnnie Walker Red Label 2 Litre Flagon

Colour: Full gold.

Nose: Malty and nutty and a tad smokey. Garden bonfire, barbecue and flowers.

Mouth: Creamy and very smokey. Very obvious peatiness, spices, orange liqueur, fudge and pepper.

Finish: long and peppery.

Comments: Johnnie Red used to be a big whisky. Twenty five years of bottle ageing added a pleasant complexity. Especially since this may well contain some 1972 Brora
