Johnnie Walker King George V - 80th Anniversary of the Royal Warrant

Released in early 2015, this edition marks the 80th anniversary of the awarding of the Royal Warrant to John Walker & Sons and the limited edition pack is described as a celebration of 1930s craft.

The limited edition pack has a burgundy finish featuring an intricate motif and gold chandelier print, in keeping with the art deco style of the time, with colours that are said to emphasise “the regal nature of the super-premium whisky” according to the brand owner.

John Walker & Sons King George V blend is crafted using whiskies from distilleries in existence at the time of King George V, including casks of Port Ellen single malt from the Isle of Islay. The 1930s was the period when John Walker & Sons was first granted the Royal Warrant as a supplier to the Royal Household. The Royal Warrant is regarded as a mark of quality and excellence and is a status that John Walker & Sons continues to hold today.
