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.).

The third edition of John Walker & Sons, released in 2016 in the Private Collection launched by master blender Jim Beveridge in 2014. This edition, Rare Honeyed Notes, is a blend of 29 casks of old grain whiskies and Speyside malts. A limited edition of 8,888 bottles.
