The man behind Johnnie Walker Blue ... #johnniewalker #thebourbonguru #badmashcellar #whisky -

I want to show you something, Rebecca, you mentioned your dad, Tom. Maybe you can tell everyone about this very special bottle. Well, my dad, before he started the last shop, he'd spent over 40 years in the drinks industry. He started in the 1960s and in 1974, he was responsible for the creation of Baileys Irish Cream, which is still 50-something years later, the best-selling liqueur in the world. Later on in his career, he joined United Distillers, which is part of what eventually became Diageo. He and James, who was his boss then, created something called Johnny Walker Oldest, which was their first super premium blend. Although it's now known as Johnny Walker Blue Label, I was delighted to see and indeed to taste one of the original Johnny Walker Oldest bottles, which are very rare, hard to find now. I'm very happy, Raj, to see you have one. Yeah, absolutely. Beautiful blend. Thank you for the pour. You're welcome.
