Johnnie Walker

Brief Story of Johnnie Walker Whisky

Diageo owns the Johnnie Walker brand of Scotch whisky, which originates in the Scottish burgh of Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire. John Walker, a grocer, was the first to launch the brand. John Walker's father died in 1819.

In 1867, he introduced Johnnie Walker's first commercial blend, called 'Old Highland Whisky.' He then made the wise decision to hire ship captains as his agents to transport his whisky wherever ships could sail. These were fast-paced times.

Alexander II and George Walker inherited the Walker surname in 1889. Alexander and George titled their popular new whisky line after the colors of their distinctive labels in 1909. Johnnie Walker whisky was available in 120 countries by 1920. King George V gave John Walker & Sons a Royal Warrant in 1934 to furnish whisky to the royal household.

Today, Johnnie Walker is the world's largest whisky brand, and its phrase has been adopted and welcomed worldwide, as a rallying cry for development, encouragement in the face of adversity, a joyful statement of optimism, and the best piece of advice you're ever likely to hear.

Why is it a great choice?

Johnnie Walker is a blended Scotch whisky. Unlike bourbon, which is created in the United States from distilled corn, Johnnie Walker is made in Scotland from a blend of grain and malt whiskies from many distilleries, as opposed to single malts, which are made from a single distillery.
