Johnnie Walker 15 Year Old. Kilmarnock 400. One of 1,992 bottles. 75cl. 43%. Bottled to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the granting of Burgh status to Kilmarnock. No box.
An early special edition of the Johnnie Walker 15-year-old Kilmarnock 400, this bottle was released in 1992 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the brand’s home town of Kilmarnock being granted the status of Burgh of Barony by King James VI in 1592.
Johnnie Walker 15-year-old Kilmarnock 400 is one of the rarest and most sought after of the early prestige editions of Johnnie Walker. Apart from the fact that the whiskies inside must have been distilled no later than 1977, this is also due in part to the bottle’s scarcity - just 1992 bottles were released. Interestingly, despite the gold label presentation of Kilmarnock 400, this whisky actually predates the introduction of Johnnie Walker Gold Label, which appeared for the first time three years later as an 18-year-old.
The 15-year-old John Walker took over a Kilmarnock grocery store in 1820, and built his business as a delicatessen and tea blender. John’s son Alexander switched to whisky wholesaling in the 1850s, rapidly expanding the business. By 1908 the famous slanting label, square-sided bottles and the iconic Striding Man logo were all in place and the legendary tagline ‘Born in 1820 - Still Going Strong’ soon propelled Johnnie Walker to international prominence.
John Walker & Co. merged into Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in the 1920s as the biggest Scotch whisky blender, and remains DCL successor Diageo’s most important whisky brand. Since the 1980s the classic Red Label and Black Label have been joined by various new Johnnie Walker whiskies, including Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Green Label and Gold Label and the prestige edition Johnnie Walker King George V.
