Renowned distillers John Walker & Sons have unveiled their latest, ultra-deluxe whisky blend, the Blue Label King George V Edition – named for the King who awarded the company a Royal Warrant to supply his Household with Scotch. This handcrafted blend is made using original, historical techniques, and only whiskies from distilleries operating during King George's reign have been selected, including a rare whisky from the now-defunct Port Ellen distillery.
As with the famed Blue Label blend, the King George V Edition's unique flavor contains a delicate balance of peatiness, smoke, and lighter aromatic fruit flavors from a variety of oak casks. Lucky Asian connoisseurs will be the first to sample this exquisite blend – available through selected outlets on a strict allocation basis only – which comes in a silk-lined presentation box, making it perfect as an extra-special gift.
