Upon his father’s death in 1820, a young grocer named Johnnie Walker invested his £417 inheritance from his farmer father into a grocery and spirits shop on High Street in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland.

While Walker himself was a teetotaller, he sold a popular single malt whisky under the name Walker’s Kilmarnock Whisky. When Walker retired from the store in the 1850s, whisky sales represented just 8% of the store’s business.

In 1857, Alexander Walker — Johnnie Walker’s eldest son —took over and began improving the selection of single malt Scotch whiskies, finally establishing the Johnnie Walker brand as a favored whisky brand. Today, Johnnie Walker is owned by Diageo and it’s one of the most popular Scotch whiskies in the world.Honoring this incredible journey of 200 years and the aisles of John Walker’s store, full of exotic and fragrant ingredients from all over the globe, Master Blender Jim Beveridge and his expert whisky makers took the original inventory list of flavors and crafted a complex whisky of rich layers.John Walker & Sons Bincentenary Blend is a blend of rare and exceptional whiskies, which include ghost stocks from the distilleries no longer in existence, such as Pittyvaich, Cambus and Port Ellen.
