This bottling of a Johnnie Walker Blue Label was produced in the Limited Edition Design - Cities series as a Vienna Edition, the design of the bottle and the box shows famous views of the city of Vienna.
Johnnie Walker is probably the worlds best-known brand of blended Scotch whisky, founded by the general dealer John Walker in 1820 in Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, not far from Scotlands west coast. The result of lengthy experiments was finally a blended whisky, which was offered as Walkers Old Highland from 1865. From 1870, this was sold in the square bottle with the slanted label that is still used today and immediately hit the market. At the beginning of the 20th century, label colours were introduced for the whiskies of different qualities, and from 1908 the name was finally changed to Johnnie Walker Whisky, at the same time introducing the famous Striding Man and the world-famous slogan Born 1820-Still going Strong!
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
