The world’s best-selling Scotch Whisky combines up to 35 single malt and grain whiskies, including many of
Scotland’s most celebrated pours: Cardhu, Caol Ila, Cameronbridge and Teaninich. Sweet smoke crackles
with sparks of cinnamon, honey cascades over fresh fruit while pepper bursts through crisp apple, these
are the iconic flavours of Johnnie Walker Red Label. Created with long drinks in mind, it’s perfect to be
enjoyed as a highball, in a tall glass filled with ice and mixed with lemonade, ginger ale or a mixer of your
choice. A great gift for someone who appreciates good whisky and tasty long mixed drinks.

Whiskies may come and go, but Johnnie Walker’s flagship Red Label blended scotch endures. In fact, it doesn’t just endure, it thrives: According to the brand, at least, it’s the best-selling scotch whisky in the world.
