John Walker & Sons King George V

A Wee Snippet Of History…

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.

Johnnie Walker King George V

It is created using only the finest whiskies from distilleries that were operating during George’s twenty-five-year reign (1910 – 1936), including some of the rarest in their reserves, including irreplaceable casks from the now-closed Port Ellen distillery.

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, it is a kaleidoscope of flavors 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 beautiful, regal flint glass decanter that echoes the iconic slanted Johnnie Walker label, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with a unique serial number.
