Product description
Alexander Walker created his first signature blend, Old Highland Whisky also called White Label, in 1865. He soon added Special Old Highland Whisky, which came with red label and Extra Special Old Highland Whisky with black label.
The first one was later discontinued but the other two were named by customers Red Label and Black Label respectively and Alexander changed the names to what the customers were calling for. Black Label is made of about 40 whiskies each aged for a minimum of 12 years. Its main components are Cardhu, Caol Ila, Glenlossie, Talisker and Clynelish. Johnnie Walker is the most valued whisky brand with estimated value of 4.5 billion dollars. In 2018 almost 19 million bottles of Johnnie Walker were sold.
