Johnnie Walker FAVOURITES

HISTORY

In 1820, John Walker opened a grocer's shop in Kilmarnock, Scotland, where he experimented with whisky blending techniques and laid the foundation for the Johnnie Walker family business. It was John’s son, Alexander, who introduced the iconic slanted label and square bottle to be distinctive and stand out on the shelf. In 1908, Alexander’s sons commissioned leading illustrator Tom Browne to sketch the Striding Man figure to represent their energetic brand. By 1920, Johnnie Walker was available in 120 countries and became a part of global culture, being referenced by songwriters and statesmen alike. Today, Johnnie Walker is the biggest whisky brand in the world; its slogan adopted and embraced everywhere as a rallying cry for progress, encouragement in adversity and an expression of optimism. It continues to make whiskies that push boundaries.

How Blends Are Made

Blended Scotch Whisky is a mix of different whiskies, combined to create a consistent flavour. Careful blending is a skill that’s as much an art as a science. Our Master Blenders have incredible knowledge of all whisky types. It means they can continue the journey our founder John Walker started 200 years ago to unlock the world's boldest flavours.

The multitude of flavours in Johnnie Walker whiskies mean that is the perfect base for delicious, highballs and cocktails of all kinds. Its balance allows Johnnie Walker whiskies to work perfectly with a wide range of mixers and ingredients - the possibilities are almost endless.

Johnnie and Ginger

The Highball drink is simply one part Johnnie, three parts mixer, fresh garnish and lots of ice. It’s inviting and easy-going, an explosion of flavour you only get from the bold taste of Johnnie Walker. Time to start mixing.

Mix
Spice things up with 150ml Ginger Ale and stir to mix.

Whisky sour

A classic whisky cocktail that’s stood the test of time. The Whisky Sour is the perfect balance of sweet syrup, sharp citrus and fiery Johnnie Walker. Adding egg white makes it rich and creamy.
