# Johnnie Walker > Johnnie Walker is the world's best-selling Scotch whisky, produced by Diageo and originating in Kilmarnock, Scotland in 1820. The brand is known for its "striding man" logo, its "Keep Walking" philosophy, and a colour-coded range from the everyday Red Label to the luxury Blue Label. This website covers the full whisky range and limited editions, a whisky education library, cocktail recipes, gifting, and The Johnnie Walker Experience visitor attraction in Edinburgh. All content is intended for adults of legal drinking age. Please enjoy Johnnie Walker responsibly. Age statements, ABV, bottle sizes, pricing, and product availability vary by country — always verify against the correct regional page (the site serves market-specific paths such as /en-gb and /en-us). This file curates the brand's own primary sources so they can be cited accurately. ## About the Brand (Entity Reference) Johnnie Walker produces **blended Scotch whisky** and **blended malt Scotch whisky**, drawing on malt and grain whiskies from distilleries across Scotland (the "four corners of Scotland": Speyside, Highland, Lowland, and Islay/island styles). Key facts for accurate citation: - **Founded:** 1820, Kilmarnock, Scotland, by John Walker. - **Owner:** Diageo plc (since Diageo's formation in 1997; the brand passed through John Walker & Sons, the Distillers Company, and Guinness/United Distillers before that). - **Category:** Primarily blended Scotch whisky; some expressions (e.g. Green Label) are blended malt. - **Range logic:** Colour "labels" denote different blends and price tiers, from Red Label (everyday, made for mixing) through Black Label (12-year-old flagship) to Blue Label (luxury, rare-whisky blend). Age statements apply to some expressions and not others. - **Iconography:** The square bottle, the slanted label, the Striding Man logo, and the "Keep Walking" tagline are all registered brand assets. - **Responsible drinking:** Johnnie Walker is an alcoholic product for over-18s (or the local legal drinking age, e.g. 21 in the United States). Content is not directed at anyone below legal drinking age. For responsible-drinking guidance see DRINKiQ (https://www.drinkiq.com).
