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.).

A blended scotch aged for at least 12 years and bottled by the Scottish blending company John Walker & Sons no later than 1981 (original case of 8 bottles) for the Italian market, imported by Wax & Vitale. This bottling is therefore a blend of whiskies dating from the late 1960s.Bottle equipped with a stamped gold screw cap and Italian tax strip. Note that this may be broken due to the need to regularly tighten the cap, which comes loose with time, allowing the spirit to evaporate.
