SCOTCH

Johnnie Walker

One of our classic favorites, Johnnie Walker is world-renowned for its range of iconic scotch whisky blends: Red Label, Black Label, Green Label, and Blue Label. Its “pioneer blend,” the one that introduced Johnnie Walker to the rest of the planet, is Red Label. In fact, it’s been the world’s best-selling scotch since 1945—a.k.a. a very long time—with a blend that combines light whiskies from Scotland’s east coast with more peaty whiskies from the west to create an extraordinary depth of flavor.

Red Label boasts hints of cinnamon, spicy pepper, and sweet vanilla, with a long and smoky finish, the signature of all Johnnie Walker blends that makes it great for mixing. (We like it with ginger ale and a squeeze of lemon or lime for a refreshing yet spicy cocktail.) Fun fact: Red Label was Winston Churchill’s favorite whisky; he mixed it with water and drank it throughout the day. Perhaps he was referencing his daily passion for Johnnie Walker when he famously advised, “Never, never, never give up.”
