The origins of the Johnnie Walker and Sons brands date back to 1820 when John Walker, a Scottish greengrocer from Kilmarnock, began selling whisky in his store. Although he established the brand, it was his descendants who built the business’ renown and, more specifically, the now-so iconic stocky square bottle and its label placed at a 24° angle. Since being bought by DCL (the predecessor of Diageo) in 1925, Johnnie Walker has continued to develop its range of products, all blends of malts from Scotland’s leading distilleries (Cardhu, Caol Ila, Talisker, etc.).

Johnnie Walker is not only the largest producer of whisky in the world for volume but also produces outstanding and carefully crafter whiskies, as we can see here. A blend of 12 malts matured for 12 years from regional whiskies (Speyside, Islay and the Isle of Skye), this whisky is quite simply excellent. While some add finesse, others bring power, aromatics or structure, with the expertise of this iconic name ensuring the final product boasts perfect balance. The delicately vanilla notes and unique flavours of sweet spices and smoke create a unique tasting that begs for contemplation.
