Johnnie Walker Red Label, 40%

The entry-level blend in this range should never be overlooked. Sweet grain, honey, peanut brittle, vanilla cream, dried apple, and a green herbal note that suggests a higher grain content than other Johnnie Walker expressions. The palate has a thick, creamy mouthfeel, with vanilla, honey, peanut, and light spices, adding mandarin, green apple, and creamed coconut. Worth revisiting for an everyday pour as well as mixing.
