Product Description
Inspired by new aged Chinese couture of traditional patterns, fabric and fashion, John Walker & Sons King George V introduces a new Chinese New Year limited edition, creating a unique take from modern fashion luxury. In the giftbox, brand booklet and red packets are included. John Walker & Sons King George V Edition blends some of the rarest whiskies from distilleries in existence during the reign of King George V from 1910 to 1936, including Benrinnes, Cardhu and the precious casks of silent distilleries Port Ellen and Port Dundas.
Nose
Sweet, smoky aromas deepened by Port Ellen are followed by notes of orange and Mediterranean fruits and the rich fruit spiciness - raisins, figs and cinnamon – of malts from across Scotland matured in European and American oak.
Palate
Rich in texture, on the palate there’s an abundance of spice and dried fruits from the Speyside and Highlands whiskies with European oak character, balanced by creamy vanilla sweetness from the malts and grains matured in American oak, together releasing layer upon layer of flavour: sweet fruits, dark chocolate, toffee, spices and roast nuts.
Finish
Port Ellen intensifies the maritime Islay smokiness that gathers momentum through the exceptionally long, warming finish with hints of spice and pepper.
