Johnnie Walker is a very popular Scottish brand of whiskey. It is the most widely distributed blend of Scotch whiskey in the entire world and it is also available in almost every country. Their sales are approximately 130 million bottles annually. This brand is a legacy left behind by John "Johnnie" Walker. The iconic square bottle was first introduced in 1870 because the bottles were less likely to break with this new shape. This also meant that more bottles would fit into a space. Their label is also larger and more visible. They offer a few blends as well as special and limited bottling. The whiskey decanter set was offered as a gift to employees in order to mark their 50 years at the Kilmarnock distillery. It has a value now of about twelve hundred dollars.
