Johnnie Walker Blended Scotch Whisky

Overview

Johnnie Walker is a globally distributed brand of blended Scotch whisky that traces its origins to John Walker, a grocer in Kilmarnock, Scotland, who began selling spirits in the early 19th century; the business evolved into John Walker & Sons and the Johnnie Walker blended range that became internationally famous.

Manufacturing and production

The whisky is produced and blended in Scotland under the Johnnie Walker brand; historically much of the bottling and blending activity was associated with Kilmarnock, though modern production, blending and some packaging/bottling activities occur across multiple Diageo sites, with Scotland remaining the primary production base for the Scotch blends.
