Originally known as Walker's Killme Whisky, the Johnnie Walker brand is a legacy left by John ‘Johnnie’ Walker after he started to sell whisky in his grocer’s shop in Ayrshire, Scotland. The brand became popular, but after Walker's death in 1857 it was his son Alexander Walker and grandson Alexander Walker II who were largely responsible for establishing the scotch as a popular brand. Under John Walker, whisky sales read more...

6. Glenturret Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Glenturret Distillery is located on the banks of the Turret River in Perthshire, Scotland. The distillery is hidden in the valley and its secluded location may have contributed to its early history as the site of several illicit bothy stills. The high hills to either side of the distillery were thought to act as lookout points for the smugglers. When Alfred Barnard visited the distillery he described the valley as “a perfect paradise to artists, who come in great numbers to transfer some of its transcendant beauties to canvas.”
The distillery was officially established in 1775, but the distillery had previously been under the control of illicit distillers, who sought to avoid read more...

7. Bell's Blended Scotch Whisky
Bell's is a blend of specially selected pure malts, all of which are more than 8 years old. Bell's whisky has a tempered smokiness finishing with warm pepper mellowed by a rich honey complexity.
Arthur Bell's career began modestly in 1837 as Company Traveller for a Scottish wine and spirits merchant. He made partner in 1851 and it is clear that he soon realised the tremendous opportunity which blending held. Over the next few years, Bell toured the Highlands, Islands and Lowlands of Scotland to seek out the finest single malt whiskies and only in 1863 did he appoint a London agent for his brands.
The accepted practice at the time was to use young, immature whiskies for blending. read more...

9. Highland Park Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Highland Park Single Malt is a Scotch whisky distilled by Highland Park Distillery, Kirkwall in Orkney, the northernmost distillery in Scotland, a half mile north from that of Scapa. However, Blackwood under construction in Shetland will take this title at some point in the future.
The distillery was founded in 1798. The name of this whisky does not refer to the area of Scotland known as The Highlands, from which Orkney is excluded, but rather to the fact that the distillery was founded on an area distinguished from a lower area nearby.
Highland Park is one of the few distilleries to malt its own barley, using locally cut peat from Hobbister Moor. The peat is then mixed with read more...
