Johnnie Walker has an incredible heritage, but I was given the freedom to use that as inspiration &#8211; to play with it and make it personal. I\u2019m drawn to brands that aren\u2019t afraid to break rules and evolve while still honouring where they\u2019ve come from and this collaboration let me bring that spirit to life.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f934f90a721f40d1acac916bd1218bdb wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Creative Director and Designer Charles Jeffrey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2aab4f05ad3b927042e65250553d6120 wp-block-paragraph\">The Johnnie Walker Experience opened in September 2021. Four and a half years in the making, it is the centrepiece of Diageo\u2019s \u00a3185 million investment in Scotch whisky tourism in Scotland and is the largest single investment programme of its kind ever seen in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b4e783cc1aecd2986f993c464e016346 wp-block-paragraph\">Since opening, it has attracted guests from 141 countries, from Andorra to Zimbabwe and everywhere in between, welcoming over 1.5 million visitors to date. Part of The Johnnie Walker Experience\u2019s mission is to introduce Scotch whisky to potential new fans, and challenge traditional perceptions: nearly 50% of tour visitors were women with thirty-nine years being the average age.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-scaled.avif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-1024x683.avif\" alt=\"the johnnie walker expereince, in scotland\" class=\"wp-image-191072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-1024x683.avif 1024w, https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-300x200.avif 300w, https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-1536x1024.avif 1536w, https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-2048x1366.avif 2048w, https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-1200x800.avif 1200w, https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-1980x1320.avif 1980w, https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JWPS_New_Releases_Header_Image-scaled.avif 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-744b7387f19891ccddfec997d2cac46d wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to The Johnnie Walker Signature Experience &#8211; Journey of Flavour, where visitors have their personal flavour preferences mapped with drinks tailored to their palate whilst exploring the 200-year history of Johnnie Walker, exclusive tours and experiences are also available all year round, and our rooftop bars combine world-class cocktails with innovative cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-138d1d804328677efd29a4ff282cc8d3 wp-block-paragraph\">The venue was named the World\u2019s Leading Spirit Tourism Experience 2025, 2024 and 2023 by the World Travel Awards and was awarded in the Outstanding Achievement for Brand Experience category in the 30th Annual Themed Entertainment Association Awards in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-23a3b74dfe1f0e222d5c337427ffde7d wp-block-paragraph\">Johnnie Walker whiskies are characterised by a blended Scotch approach, ranging from the cocktail-friendly, sweet-and-spicy Red Label to the ultra-premium, complex <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-power-of-the-creative-colour-blue\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-power-of-the-creative-colour-blue\/\">Blue Label<\/a><\/strong>.
