Description

This is a special limited edition bottling of Johnnie Walker's King George V blended Scotch whisky, released to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It is crafted from extremely rare and precious casks, including irreplaceable whiskies from now-closed distilleries that operated during King George V's reign (1910-1936), such as Port Ellen. The elegant and rich blend imparts a coastal smokiness and sweet spice, presented in a limited edition design often featuring artwork by designers like Angel Chen or Shan Jiang.
