The origins of the Johnnie Walker and Sons brands date back to 1820 when John Walker, a Scottish greengrocer from Kilmarnock, began selling whisky in his store. Although he established the brand, it was his descendants who built the business’ renown and, more specifically, the now-so iconic stocky square bottle and its label placed at a 24° angle. Since being bought by DCL (the predecessor of Diageo) in 1925, Johnnie Walker has continued to develop its range of products, all blends of malts from Scotland’s leading distilleries (Cardhu, Caol Ila, Talisker, etc.).

A Johnnie Walker Green Label, made from a dozen malts aged for at least 15 years from Speyside, the Highlands, the Lowlands and the Islands. Unlike Red and Black Label, this is a blended malt rather than a blended scotch—which means it contains only single malts and no grain whisky. Green Label is no longer produced today.
