  Johnnie Walker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnnie Walker continues to be blended in Kilmarnock, with a large plant just north of the town's railway station.
Johnnie Walker is currently the most widely distributed brand of Scotch whisky in the world, sold in over 200 countries with yearly sales of over 120 million bottles.

 John Walker (grocer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John (Johnnie) Walker (1805 – 1857) was a Scottish grocer, who originated what would become one of the world’s most famous whisky brand names.
Walker was born near Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, Scotland.
Even so, whisky sales under John Walker represented just 8 percent of the firm’s income; by the time Alexander was ready to pass on the company to his own sons, that figure had increased to between 90 and 95 percent.

 Johnnie Walker - About Whisky - Blends - www.scotchwhisky.com
When he developed the Johnnie Walker Red Label blend, he made sure that, although it was much smoother and somewhat lighter than many of its contemporaries, it retained the authentic flavour of traditional Scotch Whisky.
Back in 1820, when Johnnie Walker first established his business at Kilmarnock in the west of Scotland, malt whiskies and grain whiskies were bottled singly, and a market for them barely existed outside Scotland.
Single whiskies, like wine, can vary from one year to the next, and John's aim in blending was to create a consistent flavour and a quality that could be relied on time and time again.
