Johnnie Walker King George V 2022 Lunar New Year - Year Of The Tiger Blended Scotch Whisky
In stock
Drawn from extremely rare, precious casks, including irreplaceable whiskies from the now silent distillery of Port Ellen. This elegantly rich and creamy whisky has rarity reflected in every drop, and its new limited edition design is the perfect gift to give to the one who never walks alone and to mark this year.
The stunning design marks the beginning of a new year and is inspired by the Oriental myth of the Bai Ze. Designed by Chinese artist Shan Jiang, it features a beautiful illustration of the mythical creature that symbolises virtuousness, nobility and protection from evil.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with molten copper-gold highlights and a whisper of mahogany at the rim.
Nose
Luxuriously creamy, it opens with toffee and ripe fig, layered with dried apricot and dark chocolate. Sherry-dusted spice, vanilla and polished oak weave through a lush fruit core, while a subtle maritime lift and Port Ellen smoke add depth and an elegant, lingering sweetness.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied on the palate, with a creamy core of custard and luxuriously sherried sweetness. Ripe dried fruit, dark chocolate, toffee and almond unfold alongside warm spice and vanilla, while a subtle oak backbone carries rare-cask depth from Port Ellen. The finish is long and warming, with a refined, noble sweetness and a whisper of smoke.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish with creamy vanilla and toffee evolving into dried fruits and cocoa, kissed by subtle sherry sweetness and warming spice, fading to a velvety, oak-kissed afterglow.
