Description

Johnnie Walker Swing is one of Scotland's best-known blended Scotch brands, a flagship whisky property of Diageo. Introduced in 1867 by John Walker & Sons, its range includes Red Label, Black Label, and Blue Label. This exceptionally smooth premium whisky was created in 1932 by Sir Alexander Walker, inspired by the golden age of transatlantic travel. It is presented in a uniquely shaped bottle with a convex base, designed to rock gently back and forth, preventing it from toppling over on rough seas. This particular bottling dates from the 1980s.
