Description

John Walker King George V is an exclusive limited edition blended Scotch whisky created to celebrate the Royal Warrant granted to John Walker & Sons by King George V in 1934. It is crafted using whiskies from distilleries that were operational during King George V's reign (1910-1936), including rare malts from the now-closed Port Ellen distillery, Cardhu, and Lochnagar. This blend aims to reflect the distinctive Johnnie Walker style of that era. Presented in a luxurious crystal decanter and a silk-lined gift box, it offers a complex and refined character.

Sweetness meets spice and smoke.

At 43% ABV, this blended whisky sits at a measured strength. The combination of sweet fruit, vanilla and dark chocolate toffee gives it a rich character, while the smoky, salty finish adds a more savoury edge. I find that contrast appealing.

The documented character has a clear centre: rich spice and Christmas pudding on the nose, followed by sweet fruit, roast nuts and dark chocolate toffee on the palate. A gentle touch of smoke adds contrast without taking over. The long, smoky, salty and spicy finish sounds more assertive than the sweeter middle. That balance makes this an engaging blend on paper, though the notes do not establish how prominent each element is.

Rich, but smoky.
