JOHNNIE WALKER RED SOUL 70 CL

JOHNNIE WALKER RED SOUL 70 CL.

Johnnie Walker Red Soul 70 cl is the most common standard format of this new blended Scotch whisky launched by Diageo in March 2026. It is a sweeter, smoother, and brighter version of the classic Johnnie Walker Red Label, designed to be more accessible for those who don’t usually drink whisky, for a young audience, and for easy, social mixes.

• Alcohol content (ABV): 40%
• Type: Blended Scotch Whisky (no clearly defined age – NAS)
• Master Blender: Emma Walker and her team
• Format: 70 cl (700 ml) — this is the main size in most markets (Europe, MENA, and others where it is already available)
• Positioning: Sweeter and smoother than the traditional Red Label, without smoky notes. It retains the fresh and spicy essence of Red Label but enhances the vanilla sweetness and smoothness, making it ideal for mixing and casual enjoyment.

Tasting notes:

• Nose and palate: Rich vanilla sweetness at first, opening up to fudge caramel (or toffee fudge), sweet red apple, soft oak, light spices, and a vibrant touch.
• Final: Smooth, creamy, and balanced.
• In summary: Bright, vibrant, easy to drink, and “full of soul.” Less spicy and smokeless compared to the classic Red Label, making it more approachable.
  
  Comparison with Red Label
  Red Soul is deliberately smoother and sweeter (vanilla and caramel stand out), while the classic Red Label is spicier, with a smoky touch and more distillery character. Red Soul is designed for those looking for something easier and more versatile, especially in cocktails.
• Service recommendations:
  -Red Soul & Cola — Classic and delicious, with enhanced vanilla sweetness. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt to elevate it.
  -Red Soul & Lemonade (the recommended serve signature) — Very refreshing: fill the glass with ice, add the whiskey, top with lemonade, a pinch of sea salt, and garnish with a strawberry. Perfect for relaxed moments with friends.
