The story of Johnnie Walker began in 1819, when John Walker founded a general
store where whisky was blended like tea. The rise to a global brand began during
the phylloxera plague (1858-1863), which caused cognac shortages and brought
whisky into focus.

Launched in 1992, the Blue Label is based on the single malts of Royal Lochnagar
and Mortlach as well as 13 other malts and grains, including Caol Ila and
Talisker. With an impressive 80% malt content, the taste of this blend is based
on whiskies from the 19th century. Only the highest quality casks are selected
for production.



The twelve-piece, strictly limited Zodiac Collection from Johnnie Walker
combines the exclusive Blue Label with artistic designs that honor the Chinese
signs of the zodiac. The Year of the Snake Edition celebrates the snake as a
symbol of cunning and elegance. The New Year bottle was designed by James Jean,
one of the most influential Asian-American artists. His artful designs are
inspired by the complex flavors that Master Blender Emma Walker and her team
carefully compose for the Blue Label.



This exceptional whisky is created from the rarest whiskies from the legendary
Johnnie Walker reserves. These include irreplaceable casks from long-closed
"ghost" distilleries, which give the blend an incomparable depth and complexity.
