Johnnie Walker is the world’s best-selling blended Scotch whisky, owned by the company Diageo. The brand was established in 1820 by a Scottish grocer of the same name who began blending whiskies to ensure a consistent, high-quality flavor for his customers. Today, Johnnie Walker is known for its iconic square bottles, slanted labels, and its color-coded range of whiskies.

History
The founder: In 1820, John “Johnnie” Walker used his inheritance to open a grocery shop in Kilmarnock, Scotland. Here, he began blending whiskies to offer a product that was more consistent than the single malts available at the time.

Expansion: After John’s death in 1857, his son Alexander inherited the company and expanded the business globally. He took advantage of the railway to ship his whisky to the world and introduced the brand’s distinctive square bottle to reduce breakage during transport.

Iconic branding: In 1908, John’s grandsons rebranded the whiskies by color and introduced the famous “Striding Man” logo, drawn by cartoonist Tom Browne. By 1920, Johnnie Walker was available in over 120 countries.
Who is Johnnie Walker? Discover his story and where our whisky history begins. It all started in 1820 when a determined young man named John opened his grocery shop in Kilmarnock – a thriving town in Scotland – after the death of his father. Despite a difficult start, John had a spark in him that would ignite his success.

JOHN HAD A NATURAL GIFT FOR BUSINESS. HE ALSO HAD A GENIUS FOR WHISKY.

Within the year, the family farm had been sold and the money used to set John Walker up with his own grocer’s shop in the thriving local town of Kilmarnock. It was a smart move. In those days, most grocers stocked a line of single malts, but they were never consistent. This wasn’t good enough for John. So, he started blending them together to create a whisky that tasted just as good every time.

It proved an extremely popular addition to the inventory.
When John passed away in 1857, after a full and prosperous life, he left his son, Alexander, with a very healthy business. These were fast-moving times. Britain was the pulsating heart of an Industrial Revolution that was set to change absolutely everything. In Kilmarnock, the railway had arrived, carrying goods to great ships travelling to the four corners of the world. Like his father, Alexander knew a good opportunity when he saw one.

A timeline of our history
1867
Alexander introduced the iconic slanted label and square bottle to be distinctive and stand out of the
1908
When Tom Browne created the Striding Man, Alexander’s sons, Alexander II and George, wanted a symbol for the energetic brand they’d created. A leading illustrator, Tom Browne, sketched the Striding Man figure for them. They renamed their whiskies after the label colors and Johnnie Walker Red Label and Black Label were born.
1920
Johnnie Walker whisky is available in 120 countries and becomes part of global culture. It’s immortalized by songwriters and filmmakers, idolized by socialites and movie stars, enjoyed by statesmen. In 1934, John Walker & Sons was granted a Royal Warrant by King George V.

20th Century
The pioneering Johnnie Walker Red Label and iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label are joined by the exquisitely crafted Johnnie Walker Blue Label. The range continues to grow with the addition of Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve.

TODAY
Johnnie Walker is the biggest Scotch Whisky brand in the world. Its slogan is 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.
