John Barr Reserve Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky (1 L)

John Barr blended scotch has an interesting history in that it was created in 1977 to fill the gap left by Johnnie Walker Red from the United Kingdom due to a dispute with the European commission over pricing and taxes. Eventually the John Barr brand was acquired by Whyte & Mackay, who expanded it to a global market. John Barr Gold Label is considered to be the middle-tier of their three scotch blends. They claim that Speyside malts are the heart of the scotch, which imply to us as a very lightly peated scotch with subtle smoke.
