Johnnie Walker is celebrating its 200th anniversary with four exclusive releases. Each of these 200th anniversary releases - a new bottle design and three newly crafted whiskies - are a celebration of the incredible journey, pioneering spirit and dedication to quality that was started by John Walker in 1820.
These four exclusive releases to celebrate Johnnie Walker’s 200 the anniversary will be launching from October 2020 onwards, subject to market distribution and availability, for a limited period only.
These releases include Johnnie Walker Blue Label 200th Anniversary Limited Edition Design, Johnnie Walker Blue Label Legendary Eight, John Walker & Sons Celebratory Blend, and John Walker & Sons Bicentenary Blend.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label 200th Anniversary Limited Edition Design features stunning illustrations that bring to life the 200-year journey of John Walker & Sons and Johnnie Walker; paying homage to some of the great cities and countries which have been part of this inspiring story since 1820.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Legendary Eight is a smooth, mellow Scotch crafted using whisky hand selected from only eight legendary distilleries that all existed in 1820, including some very rare expressions from long closed ‘ghost’ distilleries.
This John Walker & Sons Celebratory Blend is inspired by a breakthrough moment in John Walker & Sons' history - the launch of Old Highland Whisky in the 1860s. This rich and complex Scotch is inspired by the flavours found in the Walker family's grocery store during that period and is crafted with whiskies from distilleries operating at the time.
John Walker & Sons Bicentenary Blend is a sensorial journey down the fragrant aisles of John Walker's original grocery store in Scotland with rich layers that re-imagine the exotic flavours that shaped John Walker's imagination. It is crafted with rare and exceptional whiskies, all aged for at least 28 years, including whiskies from long-closed ‘ghost’ distilleries such as Pittyvaich, Cambus and soon to be re-opened Port Ellen.
