Whats the best Johnny Walker?

[shortylickens]

I was bored and went over to the hooch store. Saw lots of booze I knew nothing about.
They had Johnny Walker red, gold, and black. Based on the bottle sizes and costs I couldnt tell which one was the very best.
Which goes down smoothest?

Blue

 

[shortylickens]

I dont recall seeing Blue on the shelf. Would they have had it locked up?

Blue > Gold > Green > Black/Red

generally yes as its ~$200 for a bottle

Mother of GOD!

 

[yankeesfan]

Black and up are decent blended scotches, IMO

Don't waste your time. All Johnny Walker is disgusting.
Stick to vodka.

 

[Anubis]

pretty much any 20+ year old scotch is gonna be pushing 150+

also vodka is shit i think id rather drink that foul Chinese rice liquor that smells like bad feet

Johnnie Walker is better. Try the Double Black.

Don't waste your time. All Johnny Walker is disgusting.
Stick to lighter fluid.

FTFY

I did not see a double black.

Gentleman Jack is in the $50 range and is very smooth.

Thats important to me cuz I'm a wuss and cant handle rough, grainy liquor. My first real drinking was in the islands with fruity rum like St Maartens Guavaberry.
I only drink the smooth stuff. It gives me no pleasure or ego to choke down harsh booze, especially cheap whiskey.

Why you bringing whisky to a scotch thread?

It's same thing...

Yes I'm a single malt snob too. It's same shit. Whiskey from Scotland = Scotch.

The best Johnny Walker is the one that has been distilled through my liver....

Tennessee Whisky != Scotch

I have a bottle of JW Black in my liquor cupboard. Wish I got the double black instead. Bottle will last me forever.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

The best Johnnie Walker is called “Oban."

 

[sjwaste]

None of them. Johnnie Walker is very overpriced for what it is. You could have 4 nice single malts for the price of a bottle of Blue Label, each one more enjoyable to drink than the Blue. But I don't prefer blended whisky.

Tennessee Whisky != Scotch

That's not wiskey.

That's just nasty lighter fluid.

No, I'm wrong. Lighter fluid actually tastes better.

 

[SP33Demon]

The black is fine for an affordable buzz. It actually tastes better than some of the supposed good single malts like Balvenie (cough syrup).

 

[busydude]

I really don't understand the hate for Black. I've tried many $30 scotches but I always go back to Black.

Once you go Black, you never go back...:whiste:

Blended scotch is OK...if it's GOOD blended scotch.

Just like not all single malt scotches are good, not all blended scotches are bad.
