Must-Watch for Whisky Lovers: A Documentary on the History of Johnnie Walker

One of the most famous whisky brands in the world started in a small grocery store. We're talking about Johnnie Walker. You can now see the story behind this whisky brand in a unique documentary: The Man Who Walked Around The World.

If you look at the logo of Johnnie Walker, it immediately stands out as a stylish man on a stroll. The logo is aptly named The Striding Man. The logo alone tells a broad story, but the story behind the whisky is even broader. A documentary by Emmy and BAFTA winner Anthony Wonke now tells the history of the world-famous whisky brand.

The documentary of about three quarters of an hour begins with war images. Why? Because the divine spirit in general, and thus also Johnnie Walker, has a link with war. Furthermore, the water of life also has an important connection with pop culture, politics, and culture.

The Man Who Walked Around The World tells the true story of the whisky brand, born in a grocery store in 1820. All aspects of the whisky maker's story come into play, from the transformations to the challenges.

Since the brand has been around for so long, the 45-minute duration touches on significant moments in whisky history. The prohibition era is mentioned, and there are never-before-seen historical clips.

Additionally, several world-renowned figures discuss the brand and its relationship with the entertainment and culture industries. Think of rapper Cappadonna from the Wu-Tang Clan, guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde, and actress Sophia Bush. The role of whisky in films, music, and other places is also discussed in this documentary about Johnnie Walker.
