John Walker started as a teenage grocer. His son Alexander 'Sandy' Walker designed the square bottle and angled label that became the brand signature, and grandson George added the Striding Man emblem walking the line ever forward. The blended Scotch category effectively belongs to Johnnie Walker; it is the world's most-shipped Scotch by a wide margin."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The full colour line is duty-free's anchor: Red Label, Black 12, Double Black, Gold Reserve, 18, and Blue Label, with travel-exclusive expressions like Black Triple Cask, Black Sherry Edition, and Blue Label Extraordinary available only through duty-free channels.
