Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve Description

Winner of several major awards, Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve was created by Master Blender, Jim Beveridge, as the celebration blend. The recipe includes single malt from Clynelish as well as a harmonious mix of Speyside and Highland malts with a touch of smoky West Coast whisky.Creamy and smooth, the nose opens with a burst of nectar and a gentle smoke. The palate brings sweet fruits and a deep, velvety smooth honey aspect, before a whisper of smoke and oak in the finish.

Knowledge Bar

John "Johnnie" Walker was born in 1805 near Kilmarnock and ran a grocery, wine and spirits shop on the High Street in Kilmarnock from where he started to sell his own whisky brand, then known as Walker’s Kilmarnock Whisky.

John’s son, Alexander, had learned the art of tea blending whilst working for a tea merchant in Glasgow and, when he returned to take over the family business from his ailing father, he used those skills to create the family's first blend in 1865, Old Highland Whisky, which eventually became Johnnie Walker Black Label.

A few years later, in 1870, Alexander introduced the now iconic square bottle as it allowed more bottles to be packed in a case and reduced breakages.
