Red Label

The aroma of Johnnie Walker Red Label features a combination of oak, malt, and a hint of raisin bread, with additional notes of disinfectant and solvent from one source​​, and lemon zest, lime, and floral tones from another​.

On the palate, it offers honey, vanilla, and a small amount of nutmeg, described as having a lightly oily mouthfeel​ (The Whiskey Wash)​. Other descriptions include a creamy texture with flavors of pear, vanilla, and barley, with a backdrop of spicy black pepper and cinnamon.

The finish is characterized by a touch of wispy smoke and a medium burn​, and transitions from fruity to slightly smoky with a hint of citrus​.

In 1820, the young farmer’s son started his own grocer’s shop in the thriving town of Kilmarnock. His father had died the year before and the farm sold. It was a tough start in life, but there was always something special about John. A glint in his eye. A fire in his belly. For over two centuries Johnnie Walker has been committed to a spirit of progress, inspiring people to Keep Walking towards a more positive future. Our latest global campaign 'Keep Walking' reflects the energy, words and thoughts of cultural icons and pioneers who share this positive spirit.
