Johnnie Walker King George V Centenary 2000 Blended Scotch whisky 750ml

Johnnie Walker Blue Label 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, recognition of the quality and appeal of its whisky. Only whiskies from distilleries operating during the reign of King George V have been used. The highly prized Port Ellen Islay single malt Scotch whisky is used in Johnnie Walker Blue Label King George V blend. The distillery no longer exists and the remaining stock is carefully preserved and has steadily appreciated in value due to its absolute scarcity. / Nose: More refined and slower to build Port Ellen gives a wood smoke style quality to the aroma while hand selected casks from the East give their signature sweetness on the nose. Palate: The first burst of flavor is a concentrated burst of rich sensations, malt characteristics overlaid by dried fruit and spice. “King George V' takes time to develop, layers of more sophistication, of dark chocolate, spices, roast nuts and fruits resonate gently across the palate building in momentum towards the finish. Finish: A crescendo of immense smokiness that becomes spice and pepper at the end of this exceptionally long finish.
