Johnnie Walker John Walker & Sons King George V

John Walker & Sons King George V is an exceptional whisky, crafted to celebrate the granting of the first Royal Warrant to John Walker & Sons by King George V in 1934. The revered team of expert blenders at Johnnie Walker led by Master Blender Jim Beveridge, have hand-selected precious casks of whiskies from distilleries that were in existence during King George V’s reign including whiskies from Benrinnes, Caol Ila, Cardhu and the now silent Port Ellen and Port Dundas. The team describes it as an opulent and regal whisky crafted from the most precious casks.

Sweet, smoky aromas from Port Ellen greet you, followed by notes of orange, raisins, figs and cinnamon. The taste consists of abundant spice and dried fruits from Speyside and Highland whiskies are perfectly balanced with vanilla. They release layers of sweet fruits, dark chocolate, toffee and roast nuts. Port Ellen gives a coastal smokiness that gathers momentum through a long finish.
