Johnnie Walker Red - Duty Free (late 1970's?) 43%ABV - 30ml

Fun to taste Johnnie Walker from the 60's and 70's. Personally I was a snob and never even knowingly tried Johnnie Walker straight until someone gave me a dram from a 60's bottle and it was a big surprise. They usually achieve amazing consistency between years but when you go back 40 or more years you can tell that over time it has got a lot less interesting and complex and by the nineties it became basically a cocktail mixer and now needs tonic, coke or ginger ale. Diageo closed lots of distilleries in 1983 so the ingredients would have changed massively during the early nineties. Looking forward to opening this one.
