John Walker & Sons King George V

Blended Scotch Whisky
43& ABV

Created to celebrate John Walker & Sons being granted its first Royal Warrant in 1934 by King George V, our makers 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.

A special extension of the Johnnie Walker range, King George V celebrates the first Royal Warrant granted to John Walker and Sons Ltd to supply Scotch whisky to the British Royal Household in 1934, and is apparently designed to recreate how JW might have tasted back in the day. Some Port Ellen has been used, alongside Cardhu, Lochnagar and some very old grain whisky.

A truly special whisky
