Simply entitled 'Brothers', the ad was created by a pair of young German students and aspiring commercial directors named Dorian Lebherz and Daniel Titz.
The pair, who spoke to brandchannel.com about the ad said: "We wanted to tell a story that captures the audience emotionally in a very short period of time. We came about the idea to tell the journey of two brothers who return to the places of their youth for one last time.
"We love to connect emotional storytelling with cinematic imagery. The brand Johnnie Walker which originates in the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish countryside naturally found its place in the story without appearing insincere."

Perhaps most interestingly, they made the ad without Diageo's - owner's of the Johnnie Walker brand - knowledge.
When asked if Diageo had been in touch they replied: "We did not get in touch with Johnnie Walker yet. But we’re guessing that they have discovered it by now."
When we watched it, we choked up quicker than the opening montage from UP.

Oh, and be sure to have your brother's - or those you consider close enough to call brothers - phone number on speed dial for when it finishes.
