Standard blends

  • Red & Cola – a premix of Red Label and cola, sold in cans and bottles similar to beer.
  • Johnnie Walker Swing — supplied in a distinctive bottle whose irregular bottom allows it to rock back and forth. It was Alexander II’s last blend: it features a high proportion of Speyside malts, complemented by malts from the northern Highlands and Islay, and is “almost as sweet as a bourbon.”[6]
  • Red Label — a blend of around 35 grain and malt whiskies. It is intended for making mixed drinks.[7] 80 proof (40% ABV), although it drinks fine on its own, being rather maltier than the other Walker colours. According to William Manchester this was the favorite Scotch of Winston Churchill, who mixed it with soda.[8]
  • Black Label — a blend of about 40 whiskies, each aged at least 12 years. 80 proof (40% ABV).
  • Gold Label — a blend of over 15 single malts. It was derived from Alexander II’s blending notes for a whisky to commemorate Johnnie Walker’s centenary. His original efforts were thwarted by a shortage of these malts following World War I. Gold Label is commonly bottled at 15 or 18 years. 80 proof (40% ABV).
  • Blue Label — Johnnie Walker’s premium blend. Every bottle is serial numbered and sold in a silk-lined box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. There is no age declaration for Blue Label, however, the owners of the plant state that it is aged no less than 20 years. 80 proof (40% ABV). It is perhaps the most expensive blended Scotch on the market, fetching prices upwards of $200 a bottle.
