Buy Johnnie Walker Black Label at JFK terminal 8

If you are a Scotch drinker, you’ve had or at least heard of Johnnie Walker. It’s the square bottle with the slanty label and the guy with the hat sort of strutting like he’s Staying Alive.

And it’s in fact a damn fine whisky, blended with grain except for the Green Label “vatted malt,” And something nobody will be upset with if you bring it to a party. No one turns down Johnnie. If you bring these facts as well, you’ll be even more of a hit.

Johnnie Walker is the most popular Scotch in the world.If the world of Scotch whisky was a high school, Johnnie Walker would probably win all the superlatives. (Not sure about “Best Hair.”)

Johnnie Walker is indeed named after a dude. Maybe it’s no longer exciting that many older brands had names (real names) behind them. But then again, we live in an era of Pepsi and Twitter and, as far as we can tell, there’s no such person as John or Charles or Veronica Twitter. So the fact that Johnnie Walker was an actual person is still pretty cool.

John Walker was a young farmer. And he grew up on a place called Todriggs. He actually had to sell the farm after his father’s passing to open his first grocery in Kilmarnock. If John Walker hadn’t set up his shop, Kilmarnock might have stayed a whole lot less famous. Not necessarily a bad thing. (Be careful. That links to a poem.)
