Johnnie Walker, the famous Scotch whisky known by its top-hatted striding-man logo will be launching a female iteration of the iconic logo in the U.S. in March, named “Jane Walker.”
According to the brand’s owner, London-based Diageo, the idea is to appeal to more women and acknowledge a broader effort towards gender equality.
“Scotch as a category is seen as particularly intimidating by women,” said Stephanie Jacoby, vice president of Johnnie Walker.
