The wine
Johnnie Walker Black Label is one of the brand’’s leading blends, depicting the “striding man” illustrated by Tom Browne. Originally released in 1909 under the name Extra Special Old Highland Whisky, it quickly became known as Black Label due to the colour of the label. It features grain and malt whisky aged for at least 12 years.
About the Producer John Walker and Sons
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.).
