The newly painted Johnnie Walker statue, unveiled at Chaplin's Restaurant & Bar on June 6th

Local consumers and trade partners of Johnnie Walker sipped on craft cocktails at Chaplin’s Restaurant & Bar, on June 6th, for the reveal of the newly painted Johnnie Walker statue.

Hand-painted by Micah Wilder, the Johnnie Walker statue is a representation of one of Johnnie Walker’s pillars: to inspire personal progress. Micah Wilder used the Johnnie Walker logo as a blank canvas to express what DC means to him.

The reveal was a homage to Johnnie Walker’s iconic slogan “keep walking”. The statue will be on display permanently at Chaplin’s Restaurant & Bar.
