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.).

John Walker & Sons Odyssey is a blend of three malts married together in European oak casks. It was created by master blender Jim Beveridge, who drew his inspiration from the notes and “Swing” bottle created in 1932 by the founder’’s grandson Sir Alexander Walker. The nautical crystal decanter is presented in a box that allows it to swing back and forth with the ship’’s movement yet always remain upright.
