Pros Red Label is inexpensive, reliable, and easily found.

It’s a fine scotch for mixing simple cocktails, especially highballs, and it also works in a pinch as a sipper.

Cons It’s a solid entry-level whisky but isn’t terribly exciting for more advanced drinkers.

Tasting Notes

Color: Bright golden orange 

Nose: Malty, herbaceous, lemony, an interesting and varied group of aromas

Palate: Very easy (some would say “smooth”), with rich butterscotch, malt, vanilla, and pear notes, along with raisin-like fruitiness that may indicate it was partially aged in sherry casks.

Finish: Oak, spice, and hints of smoke move to the fore, but not overbearingly so: This is still a rounded and gentle whisky. Malt and raisin notes also linger on the back of the tongue.
