Styles of Blended Whisky

Standard blends without an age statement are light and fresh, ideal for mixing. Blends aged 12 years or more are rounder, with more malt and oak. If you want the malt character without grain whisky, try a blended malt, or explore a single distillery in Single Malt Whisky. The full range sits under Scotch Whisky.

How to Choose Blended Whisky

Match the blend to the serve. A young blend is built for whisky and soda or a Rob Roy, while Johnnie Walker Black Label has the depth to sip on ice. Smoke fans can try Johnnie Walker Double Black, and Famous Grouse Sherry Cask leans sweet and fruity.

Blended Whisky FAQs

What is blended Scotch whisky?

Blended Scotch whisky is a mix of at least one malt whisky and at least one grain whisky, all distilled and aged in Scotland. Grain whisky gives a light, smooth base, and malt whisky adds body and flavour.

What is the difference between blended Scotch and blended malt?

Blended Scotch contains both malt and grain whisky, while blended malt contains only single malts from two or more distilleries. Blended malts tend to be fuller and more malty, and blended Scotch is usually lighter and smoother. Monkey Shoulder is a well-known blended malt.

Which Johnnie Walker label should I choose?

Choose Johnnie Walker by serve and budget. Red Label is a lively mixing blend, Black Label is a 12 year old for sipping or mixing, and Double Black is smokier. Gold Label Reserve is richer and honeyed, while Blue Label is the rare, long-aged flagship.

Is blended Scotch good for cocktails?

Yes, blended Scotch is the usual choice for whisky cocktails because its smooth, balanced style mixes well. Use it in a highball with soda or ginger ale, a Rob Roy, a Penicillin or a whisky sour. Keep older single malts for sipping instead.
