The Johnnie Walker Explorer's Club Collection - The Spice Road is a lively and contemporary whisky blend that reflects the vibrant colors and heady aromas of the spice markets along the ancient trade routes through Persia, India, and China. This whisky, part of the Explorer's Club Collection launched in 2012, includes three whiskies inspired by the travels of Johnnie Walker agents. Carefully selected by master blender Jim Beveridge and his 12-member team from over 10 million casks of single grains and single malts from more than 30 distilleries across Scotland, The Spice Road is a blend of the finest aged whiskies with an ABV of 40%. Originally released exclusively in travel retail outlets, The Explorer's Club Collection, including The Spice Road, later became available in regular retail stores. Each release in the series features packaging with patterns and color palettes that mirror the liquid within, complemented by the new Walking Man Globe emblem. This emblem pays tribute to the past while embracing new adventures. Johnnie Walker’s history dates back to 1820 when John Walker took over a Kilmarnock grocery store. His son, Alexander, transitioned the business to whisky wholesaling in the 1850s, leading to rapid expansion. By 1908, the famous slanting label, square-sided bottles, and the iconic Striding Man logo were established, propelling Johnnie Walker to international prominence. The Spice Road is one of the four special releases from this world-famous brand, celebrating the role of the traveler in bringing myriad flavors around the world.
