1970’s Johnnie Walker Red Label 1 Litre In Original Box spirits & liqueursColour: 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
