Johnnie Walker, founded in 1820 by John Walker in Scotland, began as a small grocery store whisky blend. His son, Alexander, expanded the brand, introducing the iconic square bottle and slanted label. By the early 20th century, Red Label and Black Label became global staples. Over time, the brand grew under Diageo, adding Blue, Green, and Gold Label. The Striding Man logo, introduced in 1908, symbolizes progress. Today, Johnnie Walker remains a world-renowned Scotch whisky.
