Lot presentation
John Walker & Sons Of. King George V.
The wine
John Walker & Sons King George V commemorates the award of the Royal Warrant on 1 January 1934. It is produced from the finest whiskies of distilleries still in operation on the 25th anniversary of the reign of King George (1910-1936), including the famous Port Ellen distillery, which no longer exists. The skilful blending of these whiskies reflects the very unique style of Johnnie Walker at the time.
About the Producer John Walker and Sons
The origins of the Johnnie Walker and Sons brands date back to 1820 when John Walker, a Scottish greengrocer from Kilmarnock, began selling whisky in his store. Although he established the brand, it was his descendants who built the business’ renown and, more specifically, the now-so iconic stocky square bottle and its label placed at a 24° angle. Since being bought by DCL (the predecessor of Diageo) in 1925, Johnnie Walker has continued to develop its range of products, all blends of malts from Scotland’s leading distilleries (Cardhu, Caol Ila, Talisker, etc.).
