Red Label Review


Perhaps the name Red Label has been synonymous with the brand Johnnie Walker for ages.  From bars around the world to retired Kuwaiti men in their striped dishdashas and ga7fias, this blended Scotch whiskey is favored globally.  Whether at a sassy club in LA or at a farm in 3abdili with cheap hookers, Red Label is the drink of choice.  The rich aroma of distilled malts is gently infused with the scent of hand sanitizer.  To fully appreciate its tangent smell of 3 am public toilets, it is best served straight on the rocks.  One sip of this 8 year old Scotch and your taste buds will be invigorated with the taste of a sweaty armpit and the hint of worn out deodorant.  The after taste is a whole different experience in itself.  The taste of early morning vomit will keep your taste buds tingling with anticipation for the next sip of Johnnie Walker's finest.  An inexpensive price tag, large accessibility, and a 43% alcohol volume have kept this sub-par whiskey "walking" throughout the years.  The mission statement is simple and straight-forward, to get you drunk.  A drink so bad that Johnnie Walker themselves have found no way to market it other than stating that it is "a Scotch made for mixing".  In a country where Hayef makes the laws, we are lucky to have Red Label by our side in sickness and in health.
"Walk" responsibly...
