Johnnie Walker Red Label 1970s bottling, 43%.

30ml sample at home Dec 2021.

I like modern Red Label blends so I was interested to try this.

Mid-tone golden – a dark yellow.

Aroma has slightly burnt crumpet with cut apple, refill oak, a touch of mango behind the char. Fruity yet burnt, with a light doughy breadiness. Hint of stove gas, but just a hint.

Taste is good at the abv. Potent taste but not boozy at all. Salty and bready, very dry salted crackers a touch of bitter oak in the finish – again refill cask vibes.

Quite simple, focused, unfussy. A solid blend.

I’d say the modern one tends to be crystalline-clean with subtle yet complex flavours that build up the more you drink. By contrast, this is a rounded, bready, straight-forward whisky that tastes more malt-driven and that gets a little wearing over time as the bitter oak note builds up. Both types of whisky are enjoyable experiences, but I prefer the modern style. It's amazing how well this has held up over 50 years in the bottle. 3.35/80
