Scotch whisky is the number one producer, accounting for more than one-third of the country's total whisky production, and is now part of the Diageo Alcoholic Beverages Group. Johnnie Walker whisky is often referred to as "square" depending on the color of the oblique marker, such as red, black and blue, because Johnnie Walker has taken a different approach to bottle design, using square bottles instead of the traditional round shape, which has been used since 1860 to reduce the breakage rate of bottles during transportation, and can also hold more wine in one case.
Johnnie Walker whisky is graded from lowest to highest, with regular editions ranked from lowest to highest in Red, Black, Green, Gold and Blue, as well as special editions such as Double Black, Platinum and XR, as well as limited reserve editions such as designer gift boxes.
The Red Recipe is the cheapest Johnnie Walker, which costs less than $100 and has no vintage certificate, and is generally believed to be blended using raw wines that are less than 10 years old. The red label is actually not suitable for direct drinking, as it is more spicy and tasteless, and is more suitable for mixing with soda, drinking it on the rocks, or as a cocktail base. Another interesting fact about the red party is that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's favorite daily drink is Johnnie Walker red recipe with water, and because of his excessive love for this drink, his children called the red recipe with water Papa Cocktail.
If you're looking for a ration whisky, consider Johnnie Walker Black Label. The Black Label is Johnnie Walker's star product, blended with more than 40 whiskies that have been aged in barrels for at least 12 years, making it the youngest of all Johnnie Walker whiskys with proof of vintage. The Black side is not as spicy as the Red side, and has fruity, smoky, and vanilla flavors, making it palatable. Jim Murray, the author of the Whiskey Bible, spoke highly of the Black Label, and despite tasting the famous wines, he still tasted the Johnnie Walker Black Label once a week. The price of the Black Square is 258 yuan/700ml, which is moderately priced and cost-effective, and it is perfect as a long-term ration.
As the only malt whisky from Johnnie Walker, Green Cube, which uses several original malt spirits aged in barrels from distilleries in different regions of Scotland for more than 15 years, with a smaller yield, richer layers than the Red Label and Black Label, with a harmonious taste and a long aftertaste. The price of the green side on the Johnnie Walker Tmall flagship store is 355 yuan/750ml, which has a certain cost performance and is worth trying.
Blue label is the highest-end whisky in the Johnnie Walker Label range and the signature spirit that appears most often in advertising. Johnnie Walker Blue Label does not have a vintage certificate, and it is generally accepted that Blue Label wines are aged for more than 30 years. As one of Scotland's most expensive blended whiskies, the best way to drink it is to drink it neat, or you can add a few drops of purified water to the wine to help the aromas develop. Of course, you can also make a blend based on the blue recipe, such as adding dried ginger water and lemon juice, former US President Richard Nixon's favorite drink. On Johnnie Walker's Tmall flagship store, the price of the blue side is 1210 yuan/750ml, and it is also a good choice to prepare it for banquet wine at home.
