Johnnie Walker Malaysia

I was deliriously happy that Brenda, Gina and I received an invitation from Yu Jin, CEO of HealthPro Solutions Sdn Bhd to Johnnie Walker Black Circuit. It will be such a great experience and brilliant thanks for the invitation by Yu Jin and not to forget, the person in charge of the passes, Charles, Senior Brand Manager of Johnnie Walker.

History of Jonnie Walker:

In 1820, in a small town in Scotland, a young man named John Walker dreamed of blending the perfect whisky. In 1850, applying the same principle he'd learnt from blending tea for his grocer's shop to blending whisky, John walker began creating exclusive blends for valued customers who placed private orders in his shop. 'Walker's Highland Whiskies' were soon created and launched to much acclaim. The business prospered and John's reputation as an expert blender spread throughout the west of Scotland.

John Walker's aim was to create a flavor and quality that could be relied upon time and time again. In producing exceptional blends for his most prestigious customers, he firmly established his two dearly held blending values: Quality and Consistency. These values have underpinned Walker product developments ever since.

The founder's original values are rigorously applied to blend each Johnie Walker variant. For instance, every dram of Johnnie Walker Black Label you drink will have been blended from over 40 malt and grain whiskies, each of which has been matured for a minimum of 12 years, some considerably longer.

Furthermore, your drink will have been two decades in the planning and drawn from up to 700 casks from across the entire country of Scotland, each matured in a slightly different way. This is an extremely complicated process for the Master Blender, with satisfyingly complex results and big flavor for the whisky enthusiast.

From as far back as 1860, Johnnie Walker has been gaining a plethora of impressive awards paying tribute to the whisky's taste and consistency. Each individual variant is honored almost annually with gold, silver and bronze awards in the word's most prestigious drinks competitions. Johnnie Walker Black Label is the most awarded deluxe Scotch whisky in the world.

In 2005, Johnnie Walker teamed up with Formula 1 constructor team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes to spread awareness of the "Never Drink and Drive" message. Both teams have had a fantastic partnership, driven by the same desire to constantly innovate in the pursuit of success.

From humble beginnings over 190 years ago, today Johnnie Walker is the word's biggest Scotch whisky house and distributed across the globe for the enjoyment of millions. Where will he walk next?
