Tasting Note | 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. Producer's Tasting Notes Nose: Profound smoky initial aroma followed by sweet, fresh fruit (apples, pears, bananas) malt characteristics; developing into rich dried fruit/spicy complexity (raisins, figs, cinnamon). Palate: Smooth with a rich, fruity sweetness. Warming with subtle flavours of sandalwood and smoke. Taste: Powerful, complex, rich and smooth. Finish: Mouthwarming and lingering rich peaty finish. With water: Releases new flavours, more fresh fruitiness and more smoke on the palate. |

Remarks | JOHN WALKER & SONS KING GEORGE V 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. |
