Liquor? Spirit? Something else? I'm not a pro at classifying alcohol!

Johnny Walker is a brand name. They sell mainly whiskey. The classicfication goes something like this.
Liquor > Whiskey > Scotch > Blended Scotch.
They make many blends, the most common ones labeled by colors which indcates the age of the oldest whisky used as part of the blend.
Red, black, gold, green and blue. Plus a few other names.

Johnny Walker is a whiskey. I'm not partial to it because I believe it is a little harsh. It depends a lot on how old you are (at least 21). When I was younger, I could drink a wider variety of drinks with fewer negative aftereffects. Now I prefer rum (Captain Morgan is my friend) and higher grade whiskeys. Knob Creek is a very smooth whiskey. Gentleman Jack is a single barrel whiskey that is very good. Buffalo Trace is a good one. Remember, Bourbon is only made in Kentucky. Bourbon is a whiskey but it can be called bourbon because it is made in Kentucky. Jack Danials is made in Tennessee. It cannot call itself bourbon.
Good luck with the whiskey question. My advice is: Spend the extra few bucks to get a better bottle of booze...it does make a difference in the long run.

BLENDED Scotch Whisky. As opposed to a Single Malt Scotch whisky.
Johnny Walker is a mixture of malt whisky and grain whisky that a master blender would mix to get the desired smooth taste.
Don't go for the Red. The better tasting ones are Black, Gold and Blue label. If it is for your own consumption, buy Gold or Blue label. If it is for your in-laws or for friends whom you want to get rid of right away, let them drink Red label.
By the way, the Green label is actually pure malt (no grain whisky mixture) but is not single malt.

All alcohol is liquor. Johnnie Walker is a whiskey.

Scotch - distilled in Scotland
It is classified as a spirit.
Some may say it is a Scotch Whisky but "whisky" is quite different; it is not Scotch.
Cheers!

scotch
also classified in different colors.
Least quality to highest - Red is low, black, blue, green, gold being the highest
Gold is also very oaky and hard to drink only for certain tastes
