KING GEORGE V.

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.

Tasting notes by Simon Difford (diffordsguide)

- Appearance
  Clear, dark golden with bright golden highlights.
- Aroma
  Fruity Christmas cake soaked in sherry with linseed oil, nuts, vanilla and daffodil floral aromas.
- Taste
  Huge yet graceful with generous sweet fruit, vanilla, caramel and honey balanced by dry lightly smoky oak and spice.
- Aftertaste
  Long, surprisingly smoky, salty, spicy finish.
