Created to celebrate John Walker & Sons being granted its first Royal Warrant in 1934 by King George V, we have hand-selected whiskies from distilleries that existed during his reign. As a result this elegant blend is made with some of our rarest reserves, including irreplaceable casks from the now-closed Port Ellen distillery.
This bottling of the King George V was bottled in the early 2010s, when Johnnie Walker & parent company Diageo were really building up the quality of their premium offerings.
Nose:Â Rich, spicy aromas, Christmas pudding, brandy butter and vanilla. Slightly nutty, with notes of ground almond and blossom.
Palate:Â Spice and dried fruits balanced with vanilla. Layers of sweet fruits, dark chocolate toffee and roast nuts
Finish: Coastal smokiness that gathers momentum through a long finish
