A very special edition of Johnnie Walker's legendary Blue Label. King George V was released originally for the travel retail market, this release commemorates the Royal Warrant bestowed on the company in 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 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.
