Henry admires some of the oldest whiskey

Uganda continues to be an excellent market for Johnnie Walker and the Scottish Whiskey company has rewarded Uganda by hand-picking a few of the consumers to visit the plants and learn more.

Gareth Onyango and Pivot Media’s Henry Ssali and Darius Mugisha had opportune moments to visit the UK and particularly all four of the main distilleries in Scotland. From their preach, Johnnie Walker has more brands than those that reach Uganda, that they can tell us in subsequent publishings. 

“The whole tour was for them to learn more about he brands and how he bussines is run. It’s a journey to understand and appreciate the story of manufacturing Johnnie Walker and Single malt whisky” we were told.

The trip also had UBL’s Ben Mbuvi the sales director, Abbey Nakiyaga the reserve brands manager and Judith Ezaru the key accounts manager.

Johnnie Walker is a brand of Scotch whisky now owned by Diageo that originated in the Scottish town of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. The brand was first established by grocer John Walker. It is the most widely distributed brand of blended Scotch whisky in the world, sold in almost every country, with annual sales of the equivalent of over 223.7 million 700 ml bottles in 2016 (156.6 million litres).
