John Walker & Sons King George V Blended Scotch Whisky

Experience the undisputed pinnacle of royal Scotch blending with John Walker & Sons King George V Blended Scotch Whisky. Created by the Master Blenders at Johnnie Walker, this prestige luxury release was crafted to commemorate the granting of the first Royal Warrant to John Walker & Sons by King George V in 1934. Housed in a bespoke, crystal-style decanter with a individually numbered certificate of authenticity, this ultra-rare Scotch whisky represents the ultimate acquisition for fine spirit collectors, luxury investors, and corporate gift-buyers seeking unmatched sophistication.

To recreate the authentic, rich flavour profile of the British monarchical era, this exquisite blend is crafted exclusively using rare whiskies from distilleries that were operational during King George V's reign (1910–1936). The blend features priceless, irreplaceable stocks from iconic "ghost" distilleries that have long since closed—most notably the legendary, highly coveted Port Ellen Single Malt Distillery on Islay. Bottled at 43% ABV, this royal blend marries deep coastal peat smoke, rich dried fruits, and luxurious oak complexity into an unforgettably velvety texture.

Legendary Port Ellen & Royal Heritage

The Ghost Distillery Legacy: At the heart of King George V lies the irreplaceable maritime peat and mineral structure of Port Ellen, balanced with rich Speyside malts and aged grain whiskies. The result is a opulent, regal flavour profile that showcases the absolute apex of Scottish blending heritage, making it an essential crown jewel for any top-shelf whisky portfolio.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma / Nose: Immensely rich, complex, and regal. Sweet roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and dried fruits open the bouquet, followed by sweet vanillin, orange marmalade, subtle maritime brine, and gentle peat smoke.
  • Palate / Flavour: Opulent, velvety, and mouth-coating. Deep layers of sweet honey, dark berries, and Christmas cake merge effortlessly with dark cocoa, toasted oak, rich spices, and a wave of Islay peat.
  • Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and lingering. It finishes with enduring notes of soft peat ash, peppered oak tannins, dried figs, and a delicate trail of sweet maritime smoke.
