How Can You Tell the Date of an Old Johnnie Walker Bottle?
Johnnie Walker and Sons has been making whiskey since 1820. The company developed a variety of colored labels in 1906 to establish their age. The original colors were red, white and black, although white was removed in the early 1900s. Since then, gold, green and blue labels have been added to the mix, each with its own style and history. The easiest way to determine the whiskey's age is by the color of the label. However, extremely old bottles can be determined by the absence of certain logos or slogans.
