Sons was granted its first Royal Warrant on 1 January 1934, appointing the company a supplier of Scotch whisky to the Royal Household, and this bottling commemorates that milestone. The governing rule of the blend is historical rather than stylistic: every whisky in it comes from a distillery that was operating during King George V's reign, which ran from 1910 to 1936. The blenders drew on the company's archives to select those components and combined them to reflect the Johnnie Walker style of that period. Among them is Port Ellen, the Islay distillery that closed in 1983, whose casks the producer describes as irreplaceable and which supplies the coastal smoke that builds through the finish. The remaining component distilleries have not been published. It is bottled at 43% ABV and presented in a faceted decanter with the royal cipher embossed into the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midnightwhiskey.com\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.
