Johnnie Walker King George V CNY Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whisky
Buy Johnnie Walker King George V Year of the Ox to celebrate strength, patience and steady growth. This limited edition was made for Chinese New Year 2021, and its artwork honours the ox as a symbol of majesty and prosperity. The animal stands above mountain clouds that represent longevity, framed by festive lanterns and cherry blossom for good fortune in the year ahead. Inside is King George V, the richest blend in the Blue Label family, made without an age statement from rare old reserves. It is rich and sweet in the glass, with dried fruit, dark chocolate, toffee and roasted nuts, followed by a long finish with a gentle wisp of smoke. It is a fitting present for anyone born in an ox year, a business owner hoping for steady growth or a collector of the royal festive series. Order online, pay with crypto for a checkout discount, and we deliver tracked across Australia with an adult signature.

Why Johnnie Walker King George V Ox Is a Best Buy for Ox Year Celebrations
People born in 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997 and 2009 share the ox sign, though only the adults among them can enjoy what is inside. For an ox year sixtieth or fiftieth birthday, the Johnnie Walker King George V Ox is a present that honours both the person and the zodiac. It also makes a respectful gift for a business partner, since the ox stands for diligence and reliable growth.

Buy the Johnnie Walker King George V Ox for Sipping After Dinner
The Johnnie Walker King George V Ox is a sipping whisky, bought for modest neat pours in a tulip glass once the savoury dishes are cleared. A few drops of water soften the spice and bring the toffee forward. For guests who want a long drink, order a Red Label alongside rather than mixing the royal blend.
