The story behind it

The maker

Originally founded by grocer John Walker in Kilmarnock, Scotland in 1820, the brand pioneered the art of blending to provide consistent high quality. John's son Alexander introduced the iconic square bottle and slanting label, transforming the family business into a global whisky empire.

How it is made

Crafted from whiskies matured for at least 12 years from the four corners of Scotland, this blend represents the peak of balance. Its distinct character relies heavily on the peaty whiskies of the Islands and the sweet malts of the Speyside region.
