About Johnnie Walker

Johnnie Walker traces its roots to John Walker, a grocer in Kilmarnock, Scotland, who sold his own blends of whisky in the 1800s. The brand became famous for its square bottle, slanted label and Striding Man logo. Each label is a blend of malt and grain whiskies from distilleries across Scotland, with Black Label carrying a 12 year age statement and Blue Label made from rare whiskies.
