JOHN WALKER & SONS KING GEORGE V
LUNAR NEW YEAR LIMITED EDITION DESIGN
Introducing the John Walker & Sons King George V Lunar New Year Limited Edition Design created by rising star of the fashion industry, Shanghai-based designer Angel Chen. Drawn from extremely rare and exceptionally precious casks, this rich, creamy liquid features irreplaceable whiskies from now-closed distilleries that operated during King George V’s reign. Imparting a coastal smokiness and sweet spice, every drop of this liquid is a true rarity, matched only by the exclusivity of its elegant and limited edition design.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep amber.
Body
Full bodied.
Nose
Sweet, smoky aromas deepened by Port Ellen are followed by notes of orange and Mediterranean fruits and the rich fruit spiciness - raisins, figs and cinnamon - of malts from across Scotland matured in European and American oak.
Palate
Rich in taste, on the palate there is an abundance of spice and dried fruits derived from the Speyside and Highlands whiskies with European oak character, this is perfectly balanced with creamy vanilla sweetness from the malts and grains matured in American oak, together releasing layer upon layer of flavour: sweet fruits, dark chocolate, toffee, spices and roast nuts.
Finish
Port Ellen intensifies the maritime Islay smokiness that gathers momentum through the exceptionally long, warming finish with hints of spice and pepper.
John Walker & Sons King George V is a blended Scotch that celebrates the granting of the Royal Warrant to John Walker & Sons in 1934. The edition blends some of the rarest whiskies from distilleries in existence during the reign of King George V from 1910 to 1936, including Benrinnes, Cardhu and the precious casks of silent distilleries Port Ellen and Port Dundas.
In 1820, John Walker started out in business with a single small shop, but he always had big ambitions. Just over a century later, John Walker & Sons was awarded a Royal Warrant by King George V.
By then, Johnnie Walker was already well on its way to becoming the world’s most popular Scotch Whisky. Becoming a supplier to the Royal Household was an important step on that journey.
John Walker & Sons King George V commemorates the granting of the Royal Warrant on 1 January 1934.
It is created using only the finest whiskies from distilleries that were operating during George’s twenty-five-year reign (1910 – 1936), some of which, like the famed Port Ellen, no longer exist. They are blended together to reflect the distinctive Johnnie Walker style of the era.
It is an opulent and regal blend. Sensuous, layered and intense, the John Walker & Sons King George V is a kaleidoscope of flavours and aromas. Hints of roasted nuts, dark chocolate and an imposing sweet smokiness combine elegantly with suggestions of honey, citrus orange and rose petals. This is an extremely complex luxury whisky.
It comes to you in a regal flint glass decanter that echoes the iconic slanted Johnnie Walker label, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with a unique serial number.
The John Walker & Sons King George V is the ultimate way to savour a supreme moment of success on your journey.
Enjoy it in any way you like, but we recommend it neat. Pour a 45 ml measure into a bespoke snifter glass. Accompany with a tumbler of iced water. Freshen your palate with the water between sips to unlock the full experience.
