Concerning Johnnie Walker

The Scottish burgh of Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire is the birthplace of Johnnie Walker, one of the most popular blended Scotch whisky brands worldwide. The brand’s history begins with John Walker, who used his father’s money to launch a successful grocery store. In contrast to most other grocers who often marketed a line of single malts that were never all that constant, John Walker, who was a teetotaler himself, discovered his competitive edge in whiskies he mixed himself, giving his customers a steady product.

Following his father’s death in 1857, John’s son Alexander Walker took over the company, and by the time it was passed down to the third generation, whisky accounted for between 90 and 95 percent of sales. The contemporary blend of Scotch whiskey began when the Spirits Act of 1860 made it possible to blend grain and malt whiskies. In 1867, Johnnie Walker introduced Old Highland Whisky, his first commercial mix.

In addition, Alexander Walker created the brand’s recognizable slanted label and square bottle. The Walkers continued to grow throughout the early 20th century by purchasing shares in several distilleries after acquiring the Cardhu distillery in 1893. As a result, the business was guaranteed a consistent supply of whiskies for its blends. George and Alexander II, John’s grandsons, had grown the line and started selling three blended whiskies by 1909.

The business redesigned its whiskies in 1909, designating the blends after the colors of their labels and adding the iconic striding figure insignia. Johnnie Walker was available for purchase in 120 countries by 1920. After the company joined the Distillers Company in 1925, it was acquired by Guinness, which then merged with Grand Metropolitan to become Diageo’s brand.
