Diageo Hill Street Johnnie Walker 1820 Blend / 50th Anniversary Decanter

A very rare decanter presented to employees of Diageo to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Diageo at Hill Street, Kilmarnock in 2006.

The decanter contains the rare Johnnie Walker 1820 blend produced originally only for the Taiwanese market which contains whiskies estimated to be 21 years old.

Johnnie Walker is arguably the most popular and recognisable blended Scotch on the market. Its core range includes the standard Red Label and Black Label, introduced in 1909 and named, quite simply, after their packaging. The iconic “striding man” motif was first drawn by Tom Browne the year prior. The premium Blue Label brand was introduced in 1992, and is composed using malt whisky from some of the most sought after distilleries in Diageo’s extensive portfolio. Today, many of these distilleries are only still with us due to their importance to the Johnnie Walker blends during the difficult 1980s period for the industry. A true champion of the whisky world.
