A fire in his belly, a spring in his step, a glint in his eye: there was always something special about Johnnie Walker. In 1819, Walker’s father died and his tough start at life as a farm lad had begun. That year, the family farm was sold and Johnnie started his own grocery shop in the thriving town of Kilmarnock. He had a natural knack for business and a genius for whisky. Back then whiskies were never consistent and Johnnie did not like that. He created his own popular inventory by blending the whiskies together.
When John passed away in 1857 he left his son Alexander his business. He knew he had a gold mine in the palm of his hand. Originally named ‘Old Highland Whisky,’ Alexander engaged captains of ships to carry his whisky where they sailed. The infamous square bottle was created to reduce breakage and a 24-degree slanted label to stand out to consumers. In 1889, Alexander passed the company on to his sons Alexander II & George. Ironically, they were former master blenders and businessmen. In 1909 the name Johnnie Walker Whiskey was born to honor their late grandfather and Johnnie Walker Red Label and Black Label were born.
