Product Information

The brand became somewhat popular, and following John’s death in 1857 his sons took up the family business. With the passage of a new law in 1860 that allowed for a wider variety of blended whisky to be produced, John’s sons solidified the company as a producer of blended whiskys by being among the first to innovate with the larger varieties now available. They also introduced the first square bottle in 1860, allowing more bottles to be stored on store shelves — as well as the distinctive tilted label that differentiated the brand and remains a feature to this day.

This 12 year old expression is crafted with over 40 single malt and grain whiskies, using their signature Aberfeldy single malt as the key structure. Dewar’s 12 has a rich, full-bodied flavour palate which can be attributed to its double maturation process. (It’s spirits are aged separately, blended and then aged again.) On the nose, Dewar’s 12 has hints of citrus, dried fruits and subtle oak influences. The taste offers sweet honey and vanilla notes with a hint of spice, culminating in a smooth and balanced finish. As a fan of both Johnnie Walker and Game of Thrones, I figured why not give the limited edition whisky a review. I doubt the bottle will be as good as the show, but maybe it’ll have a better finish. After some brief history, we’ll get into more specifics of the bottle and its tasting notes. Johnnie Walker History

In 1857, Alexander Walker — Johnnie Walker's eldest son — inherited the store and began improving its selection of single malt Scotch whiskies. In addition, Alexander had apprenticed with a tea merchant in Glasgow and there, had learned the art of blending tea. Under his stewardship, the House of Walker began blending whisky and bottling it in an iconic, square bottle adorned with a slanted label. By the time Alexander Walker retired in the 1880s, whisky sales represented over 95% of the store's business. Sam Tarly kills an Other with a dragonglass dagger in A Storm of Swords (2000).

They have two others – Johnnie Walker A Song of Ice and A Song of Fire – corresponding with House Stark and House Targaryen.

JW White Walker PriceThe rise of blended Scotch whisky disrupted a whole range of very well established economic relationships”, Morgan explained. These included the agricultural lobby put out by the imported grain used in blends and the old Highland distillers, “who did like to think of themselves as the sort of elite of the world of whisky. Suddenly they were simply suppliers of whisky to blenders. And the little interest there had been in malt whisky was taken away because everyone wanted to drink blended Scotch.” Both groups had powerful allies in parliament. Johnnie Walker Green Label is a unique specimen amongst their core range. Unlike their other bottlings, this 15 year old excludes grain whiskies and is made entirely of blended single malts, four of which come from the Talisker, Linkwood, Caol Ila and Cragganmore distilleries. It’s also their only bottle to exceed their typical 40% ABV percentage at a slightly stronger 43% ABV (86 proof). But this wasn’t the only problem the industry faced. There was world war one followed by the influenza epidemic. Then prohibition not just in the US, but in Canada and New Zealand plus a real possibility that something similar would be enacted in Britain; Prime Minister Lloyd George was a teetotaler.
