More from All Whiskies Above R5,000
Created in 2007 to celebrate the first Royal Warrant granted to John Walker & Sons to supply Scotch whisky to the British Royal Household in 1934, the blend consists only of whiskies made in distilleries operational during the reign of King George V, including irreplaceable casks from the now-closed Port Ellen distillery. Bottled at 43%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Sweet, smoky aromas from Port Ellen greet you. It’s followed by notes of orange, raisins, figs and cinnamon.
Palate: Abundant spice and dried fruits from Speyside and Highland whiskies are perfectly balanced with vanilla. They release layers of sweet fruits, dark chocolate, toffee and roast nuts.
Finish: Port Ellen gives a coastal smokiness that gathers momentum through the long finish.
