Johnnie Walker 200th Anniversary

Johnnie Walker sells 200 million bottles of whisky worldwide every year, and its eminently-drinkable blends are some of the whisky world’s few true household names. The brand turns 200 this year and, in honour of its growth from John Walker’s Ayrshire grocery store to the world’s best-selling whisky, it has treated us all to a couple of limited-edition drams to celebrate.

Of whisky’s truly household names, Johnnie Walker is perhaps the biggest and best-known. What began as a green grocer and spirits shop run by John Walker himself in 1820, now sells more than 200 million litres of whisky worldwide, every year and has a logo and bottle shape recognised across the globe.

Now, at 200 years old, Johnnie Walker not only has the most successful range of blended Scotch whiskies in the world, but has released some special, limited editions to mark the occasion, and bid happy birthday to the man who started it all: John Walker.
