Who is Johnnie Walker? The story of Johnnie Walker begins with the man who gave the whiskey his name. In 1820, the young farmer's son started his own grocer's shop in the thriving town of Kilmarnock. His father had died the year before and the farm sold. It was a tough start in life, but there was always something special about John. A glint in his eye. A fire in his belly.
For over two centuries Johnnie Walker has been committed to a Spirit of Progress, inspiring people to Keep Walking towards a more positive future. 'Keep Walking' reflects the energy, words and thoughts of cultural icons and pioneers who share this positive spirit.
