John Walker & Sons celebrates 60th anniversary of Her Majesty the Queen's accession to the throne with the bottling of Diamond Jubilee by John Walker & Sons, a blend of rare scotch whiskies distilled in 1952



Only 60 bottles are available at £100,000 so dont hang around if you fancy one.

For £100000 you think they would name the whiskies that went into the blend as i will never taste it i would be interested in knowing what whiskies blended together make a £100000 blend. Surely there wont be many in the blend as there is only 61 decanters.

£120,000 per bottle when you add UK VAT

I have read about this in a few places and there does seem to be a lack of info on what the whisky actually tastes like.

Good points, i cant say i have seen anywhere with a tasting note or saying what has gone into the blend. I am sure it is an outstanding whisky, well i would hope it is at £120000

It is an amazing looking decanter

They are giving the profits to a good cause but Diageos sums seem a bit out

The profits from the sale of these editions are being donated to the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) with a guaranteed amount of at least £1million and will support the excellence of craftsmanship as symbolised by the Royal Warrant of Appointment.
