John Walker & Sons Odyssey | Blended Scotch Whisky

John Walker & Sons Odyssey Whisky is a celebration of the epic journeys the whiskies undertook in the early years of the 20th Century, as they traveled over the oceans to every corner of the world. This rare Triple Malt whisky was created by Master Blender Jim Beveridge to evoke the aromas and sensations of this defining era. He took as his inspiration the legendary Johnnie Walker ‘Swing’, created in 1932 by the founder’s grandson, Sir Alexander Walker. He was a blender of extraordinary skill who handed down his detailed notes for future generations.

FACTS:
In 1867, Alexander Walker launched Johnnie Walker’s first commercial blend and called it ‘Old Highland Whisky’. He then made the astute move of engaging ships’ captains as his agents to carry his whisky wherever ships could sail. Before long, his unique blend was available around the globe. Soon afterwards, he began using the famous square bottle to reduce breakages and made sure much more of his whisky arrived intact at its destination. He also added the distinctive label, slanted at precisely 24 degrees, to make it stand out even further from the crowd.
