It is an extraordinary phenomenon to prove that distance is not a barrier to hold back close bonds. Celebrate the coming ''Year of the Rabbit" in style with the beautiful limited-edition designs by Angel Chen, who created the exclusive illustrations for this festive release. Angel Chen is a Chinese designer whose colourful approach to fashion, and fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics has made her one of the country’s brightest young talents.

John Walker & Sons King George V is an exquisite, royal blend of rare whiskys in a style cherished in the whisky heyday of the 1930s. This is an extremely complex luxury whisky. The precious premium whiskys, from which it is artfully composed, carry John Walker & Sons King George V as a rare mixture of elegance and depth of taste. It is a commemorative blend created to mark the appointment of John Walker & Sons as purveyor to the royal court by King George V in 1934 and contains only rare whiskys from distilleries during King George V's reign.
