2020 – A Discovery

written by Gail Sotelo

I obviously haven’t written in a while (duh)… but I have my reasons.

Obviously the first reason is the fact that it’s 2020. I’m quite positive that I’m not alone in feeling that year has been one of the worst we’ve seen in recent history… It started with a volcano spewing ash, to this horrible pandemic that has killed about 1.7 million people (as of writing), crippled economies (deliberately or otherwise… Thanks, alcohol ban), uncovered just how ill-prepared several governments are on how to respond to a crisis on a scale like this, and even exposed the level of selfishness, callousness, apathy, and violence several people are capable of having.

Enter the two brand-new limited-edition Johnnie Walker Black Label Origins Series, which convey a sense of place from different corners of Scotland. Inspired by the iconic Johnnie Walker Black, the series was launched last 7 September 2020 via a YouTube Live event hosted by one of my favourite funny men, Nico Bolzico.
