About this lot
John Walker & Sons King George V – Angel Chen Lunar New Year Limited Edition 2023 – 750ml An extraordinary limited-edition presentation of John Walker & Sons King George V, created in collaboration with acclaimed Chinese fashion designer Angel Chen to celebrate the 2023 Lunar New Year – Year of the Rabbit. The spectacular presentation features Chen’s vibrant red, gold and black artwork and the mythical Peng bird, symbolising transformation, ambition and the promise of an auspicious future. The distinctive design extends across the luxury presentation case, making this edition particularly desirable for collectors. King George V sits among the most prestigious expressions in the John Walker & Sons range. Originally created to commemorate the Royal Warrant granted to John Walker & Sons during the reign of King George V, the blend incorporates exceptionally rare Scotch whiskies, including whisky from the legendary Port Ellen distillery, which closed in 1983. Rich, refined and beautifully balanced, it offers layers of dried fruit, citrus, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, spice and caramel, complemented by an elegant maritime smokiness. Presented here in the 750ml, 43% ABV format with its original Angel Chen presentation case and booklet, this striking limited edition combines prestigious Scotch whisky with contemporary collectible design.
