The Johnnie Walker Annual Society Event

On the 10^th of November 2011, Johnnie Walker hosted the cream of the business and entertainment community to its Annual Society Event and Whisky Mentoring Class which was hosted by its Global Brand Ambassador Tom Jones. 

During the evening, Tom inspired guests with the amazing history and heritage of the Johnnie Walker® brand and shared with them his tips on how to enjoy their whisky to the full in a mentored tasting session.

  

He explained how each of the Johnnie Walker® blends is crafted and matured to deliver the unique taste, characteristics and flavours and how only whisky that is produced in Scotland and within the stringent quality regulations of the Scotch Whisky board, can truly be called Scotch. It was an event that saw celebrities like Samson Siasia, Uche Jombo, Olisa Adibua, Oona Priddy, Ohimai Atafo and many others being treated to the very best of Johnnie Walker hospitality.
