Johnnie Walker King George V
One of the most prestigious and rare expressions in the Johnnie Walker portfolio, King George V was created to honor the Royal Warrant granted to John Walker & Sons in 1934 by King George V himself. To craft this extraordinary blend, the makers hand-selected whiskies exclusively from distilleries that existed during his reign — including irreplaceable casks from the now-closed Port Ellen distillery, making every bottle a piece of living history.
Rich, complex, and deeply elegant — this is a Scotch whisky for the most discerning of collectors and connoisseurs.
Tasting Notes

- Palate: Abundant spice and dried fruits from Speyside and Highland whiskies, perfectly balanced with vanilla, dark chocolate, toffee, and roasted nuts
- Finish: A coastal smokiness from Port Ellen that gathers momentum through a long, majestic finish
