Johnnie Walker Princes Street | Behind the Brand Home

Описание: Looking forward to Johnnie Walker’s 200th anniversary in 2020, spirits giant Diageo decided to mark the momentous occasion with an unprecedented £185million investment in whisky tourism across Scotland. BRC has worked as Lead Agency across the project, the centrepiece of which is the flagship Johnnie Walker Princes Street whiskey visitor experience in Edinburgh.

Set within a landmark transformed, offering eight floors filled with breath-taking bars, event spaces, and views across the capital and castle, Johnnie Walker Princes Street already had the perfect ingredients to stand alone as of Scotland’s finest attractions. But add into the mix a laser focus on creating story-rich, transformative guest experiences, and you have a destination unlike any other in Scotland.

There are experiences that are visual, immersive, and involve storytelling, and there is the rare opportunity to taste whisky directly from the barrels in a live maturation warehouse or examine historical documents from 1820 at the side of the Johnnie Walker archivist. The main experience, the Johnnie Walker Journey of Flavour tour, is brought to life by exceptional guides, using technology and performance arts. What’s more, every guest on that tour is served whisky drinks tailored for their personal tastes, thanks to Diageo’s innovative FlavorPrint™ technology.

The Covid-19 pandemic posed considerable challenges but in the face of them, Johnnie Walker’s Striding Man marched on. After marking 2020 as the brand’s bicentennial, the flagship Johnnie Walker Princes Street welcomed consumers to come walk with it in Summer 2021. It not only stands as one of the best new attractions in a city renowned for its hospitality and visitor experiences, but also sets a new standard in how guests are welcomed and completely immersed in a world of flavour, storytelling, and excitement.
