The history of Johnnie Walker dates back to 1820, when founder John Walker took over a Kilmarnock grocery store and built his business as a delicatessen and tea blender. John's son Alexander transitioned to whisky wholesaling in the 1850s, rapidly expanding the business. By 1908, the famous slanting label, square-sided bottles, and the iconic Striding Man logo were in place, propelling Johnnie Walker to international prominence.
