Johnnie Walker is a brand of Scottish Whisky originally produced by John Walker & Sons Ltd of Kilmarnock, Scotland. It is presently owned by Diageo. Unlike many artisan Scotches, Johnnie Walker offerings are blended whiskies that come in several levels of quality indicated by coloured labels.
Varieties[]
