Johnnie Walker Red 1970's vs Now | With author Davin De Kergommeaux

- Опубліковано 13 кві 2024
- James sat down with the author Davin De Kergommeaux and tasted a 1970's bottling of Johnnie Walker Red Label and compared it to today's bottling. Some of their notes may have differed but the outcome was the same. Johnnie Walker has done well to keep consistent over the years but after a few decades pass by, you're bound to find some slight differences.
Has anyone else done a comparison of new vs new bottlings? We're you able to spot the old?

Amazing insight into the change of Johnnie Walker over the years and what a reveal over seasoning of oak! Wild. As for sales, maybe, but I've had enough variety in my journey to get a good sense of what I like vs what I do not. It does not align with age or abv, but that does have an influence. Cheers!
For sure! Age and ABV can influence people but it really depends on who they are and how far into the whisky journey they are. Cheers John!
I have a few unopened dusties.
One is a 1970 Acadian Signature from Acadian Distillery in Bridgetown Nova Scotia. A now lost distillery, it was started in 1957 by Larry McGuinness and closed in 1986. At some stage Pernod Ricard bought the facility, but I'm not even sure the buildings are still there. They obviously had no interest in doing anything with it.
The second bottle is a 100 Pipers Scotch from the 1960's, and it's a blend of grain and malt. There is zero information on the label, including the ABV. It should sit from 40 to 43%. Seagram's originally produced this, but it's now yet another Pernod Ricard product.
The fill levels of both are very high, so I'm hoping for the best when the time comes to open and try them. It's going to depend on how they've been stored over the years.
I can absolutely understand your fascination with delving into the past when it comes to these.
Cheers all! 🥃

Those are some really cool finds! Finding a bottle from a lost distillery is is so rare, especially a bottle with a high fill line. So lucky!
interesting that they would taste different was the 70's bottle a sealed bottle, that you just newly opened, or was it already unsealed when you got it? Obviously being a blend there is no control of what distilleries they used between the 70's and today. So really there should be a difference in taste, I would think. Maybe if you could get a single malt from the 70's -80's and today and see what the tastings would be like. That would be a good comparison.
Sealed when we got it!
