John Walker & Sons King George V $299 vs $599

[JonathanNYC]

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself, I've been browsing these forums for a little bit and decided to register and ask a question. Hopefully the intellects here can answer my question that I can't seem to find an answer to.

John Walker & Son's has King George V.

there seems to be two prices I found and can't seem to tell the difference other than the box it comes in. I've scoured for an answer and have not found one yet. I've seen the prices at $299 and it then goes up to $599 for the different style box.

They are named exactly the same, there is no discernible difference that I can see.

I see this box retailing for $599




and then this box going for $299


can anyone explain the difference for a scotch newbie?! Thanks in advance!!

My guess is purely nothing more than the fact it is older and deemed more collectable.
I would hate to think what the original would set you back with a much better display box than the two you mentioned.
