What is the best Johnnie Walker scotch whisky? We blind sample the 7 main core-range Johnnie Walker Scotch Whiskies, but will a Red Label from the 1970's out preform all of them? PLUS, Ralfy goes off in this latest Benromach 10 review! Is chill filtering preventing Benromach from being the Springbank of the North? We discuss why distilleries bottle they way they do. The Whisky Rant Podcast Ep 35.

I've only tried the red, black, and green label, but I've tried many other whiskeys. The green label is definitely a nice whiskey. I would recommend that for a first try of Johnnie Walker.

the Green costs 37 euros (37 dollars aprox) here in Spain (Europe) and is the best example of whisky for the masses but enjoyable for the whisky nerdies.

Great rant gentlemen! Tried James Eadie Trade Mark X recently and found it to be a very interesting blend, for me it has a nice Campbeltown influence too. Price wise it sits between the black and green JW.

I came to identical conclusions for top 3. Picked up miniatures gift set from black to blue and I had the green on hand. 18 was tops and Green and Double Black tied for 2nd for me. That said, it's hard to justify the prices for all of them and can only see myself picking them up on sale. The biggest take away doing that lineup was that each bottle only had a half-step qualitative difference between adjacent bottles in the lineup. I was SO DISAPPOINTED in the Blue. If someone wants to try to the Blue, I'll tell them that the 18 is very close and buy that for half the price instead. If I ever see the 18 at Costco for $80, I'll pause and strongly consider picking up a bottle; though if I'm being honest, at least part of the reason for doing so is because the JW mystique and general public awareness. As for the requested comments, If I'm going to spend $150, $250 on a whisky, it's not going to Johnnie Walker anything ever. Give me an IB, an old age statement bottling.

@@WhiskyInThe6 I would agree. It got the highest score from me at (3.2/7). Unfortunately, a 3.2 is equivalent to a $30~$40 bottle on my spreadsheet. Makes buying any of them a hard sell for myself at least.

For me the Double Black is both a decent drink and priced well enough to be worth it, and would definitely be my choice from the flight. If the XR21 was there then it’d be a different story. I’m always worried about if/when my own personal favorite distilleries get Springbanked and I think your counter argument to Ralfy’s is a very valid concern: Benromach could potentially make malt as good as Springbank but then what use is that if it’s as difficult and as expensive to find? In my country (Taiwan) there’s a limited amount of Springbank, the designated importer puts secondary prices on it, you occasionally get private store sales but, except for one amazing place, they’re marked up exorbitantly. For me it just doesn’t make sense in terms of both the tine and money it would cost so I just buy other stuff. Taiwan is a whisky loving country so, unlike a lot of Asia, there is still a really huge amount of choice and a lot of great stuff out there just waiting to be purchased and in that sense I’m very fortunate - I would say that Taiwan is the best country in Asia for whisky and, though I’ve never seen any whisky tuber visit, would imagine such a trip would be an incredible experience for anyone who enjoys single malt (if you love Bourbon it might not be so much fun).

70’s Johnnie Walker black was very good and had whisky from Port Ellen and probably Brora in it. It’s why people hunt it. It’s got depth and probably has 20 year old stuff in it or older.

Did a JW blind and Black, Double Black and Blue beat Green, Gold and 18 for me. To be fair I’ve never been a big fan of the Green even tho so many JW fanboys will tell you that’s the best of the core range. Who knows to each their own, cheers fellas thanks for this 🥃 Sidenote, also had the Red at a bar with very limited scotch options and was actually impressed, much better then the Clan McGregor bottle they also had 😆

The only Johnnie Walker worth buying are the Green and the L.E. Jane Walker 10 year all malt that I may like more than the Green. Less peaty but more sherried and dirt cheap and higher ABV like the Green. On close out for $27 was a no brainer and bought a few just to have some decent cheapy stuff that is better than it’s price point and has a bit of complexity to it.

Tasting different notes is like looking at individual objects in a still life painting. You can look at ‘Still Life with Cheese’ by Floris van Dijck and see apples, cheese, grapes, walnuts, bread, hazelnuts, pear, tea and olives. - you could also say "what the f are you taking about, looks like a damn painting to me." it's a difference of how willing you are to try to taste (or see) what you can - where the only real risk is that you're somehow "wrong" in a very subjective pursuit.
