Is Johnnie Walker well known brand in Scotland?

i understand that the brand is big overseas but is it well known by locals|||It would be well known by the locals; but not highly regarded.


This is for two reasons:


- Johnny Walker is a blended whisky. That means hat it is blended from several different pure whiskies, and the quality of the whiskies used in the blend will determine the quality of the blend. That is why there are several grades of Johhny Walker: Blue label (very expensive) is made from only the best malt whiskies. Red Label might be made from a blend of lesser base whiskies.


A purist will prefer to drink 'single malt' whiskies; made from a single distillery (eg, Gen Fiddich), but such whisky would not be used in mixer drinks.


- The higher grades of Johnny Walker are also 'bottled in Scotland" (eg, black label), rather than shipped overseas and bottled in the destination country. "Bottled in Scotland" shown on the bottle is often (but not always) an indication of high quality. obviously, it would be cheaper to export whisky in bulk, and have it bottled overseas, but the quality might not be as high.


Also a purist will tell you that the best quality scotch is biottled in Scotland, because of the high quality of the Scottish water.





There is nothing wrong with Johnny Walker; especially if you prefer mixed drinks. If you prefer whisky alone; then you will appreciate the more subtle taste of a single malt. I am sure there are a lot of Scottish people who drink mixed scotch, and would be quite happy to use Johnny Walker.|||The original distillery is in Scotland. Whether or not it is the most popular brand or something like Famous Grouse is, I have no idea.|||I like a Drop of Glenffiddich myself,But yes Johnnie Walker is a Leading Whiskey here in Britain ,|||i do agree with the johnnie walker is a well known brand but not highly regard as it is a blended whisky. like red label, many people says it sucks. black label is still acceptable. try blue label. or maybe green label(the only pure malt whisky in the range). swing(unique bottle) and premier are quite okay for a change too. i mean if you are insist on johnnie walker only. if not just try others.|||Yes it is!


Johnnie Walker Blue is the flagship product of the House of johnnie walker, (the world's leading Scotch Whiskey producer).


J.W.Blue is the ideal gift for a special person and is highly known in Scotland as for J.W.Gold %26amp; Black.|||yes
