Diageo’s archives are now home to a new piece of Johnnie Walker history thanks to the recent work of auction house Whisky.Auction and donator Andrew Welford.

What’s new is a particular historic ledger that details the transfer of shares in the John Walker & Sons company during World War II. The item was brought to the team at Whisky.Auction by Welford, who was seeking advice on the book’s significance and whether it was of value.

A statement from Whisky.Auction noted that it was Auction Director Isabel Graham-Yooll who recognized the historic importance of such a record and knew the value it could bring to the Diageo Archives.
