In 1953, in Loretto, Ky., Bill Samuels, Sr., fulfilled his dream to create a handmade and delicious bourbon. He decided to make his whisky in small batches, using soft red winter wheat to enhance the softness and sweetness. He then rotated each barrel by hand for consistency and, finally, aged each barrel to taste. Bill Samuels, Sr., transformed bourbon from a "commodity" into a premium handmade spirit, and today Maker's Mark® continues to make its bourbon the same way. In recent years, Maker's Mark has introduced thoughtful, super-premium innovations to its portfolio, including Maker's Mark 46®, Maker's Mark® Cask Strength and Maker's Mark® Private Selection, the brand's first-ever custom barrel program.

Rich in tradition, Johnnie Walker™ came about almost 200 years ago when John ‘Johnnie’ Walker first sold whisky from his grocery shop in Kilmarnock, Scotland. In 1860, the iconic square bottle hit the shelves thanks to John’s son Alexander. And in 1877, the slanted label was added, making Walker’s Old Highland whisky highly recognisable the world over. The Walker brothers renamed their whiskies in deference to their customers’ habit of identifying them by their coloured labels in 1909. And today, you can choose from five unique blends to suit any moment, and no matter which you choose, you can be assured of the consistency and quality of flavour that’s kept us walking for almost 200 years.
