For this year's John Walker & Sons King George V Lunar New Year Limited Edition Design, Johnnie Walker has partnered with rising star of the fashion industry, Shanghai-based designer Angel Chen.
This year’s design features the PENG鵬, a mythical giant bird which symbolizes Great accomplishments and Bright future.
John Walker & Sons King George V features irreplaceable whiskies from distilleries that operated during King George V’s reign. Imparting a coastal smokiness and sweet spice, every drop is a true rarity, matched only by the exclusivity of its elegant and limited edition design - a regal bird ascending with its wings outstretched as it reaches across plush reds and majestic golds.
