Johnnie Walker 1805 Celebration Blend

This stunning bottle and box, produced to mark the 200^thanniversary of John Walker’s birth is making a re-appearance this month. This extremely limited Johnnie Walker was never available for public sale as all of the bottles were given to people who, in Diageo’s words, “made a significant contribution to modern life.”  Blended from nine whiskies all aged between 45 and 70 years old and limited to only 200 bottles, this is bound to be a hotly contested bottle this month.

Let’s take a wee look at Port Ellen this month, there are  a number of bottles available but least of all we have the First, Second and Third Official release making an appearance! 

We think this could be one of the rarest Glenlivets ever bottled.  This special bottling of 36 bottles of 18 year old Glenlivet was given to Major Ivan Straker on his retirement as the Chairman of Seagrams in 1993. Major Ivan Straker is perhaps better known as the man ‘who saved the Grand National’.

He worked for the company between 1962 and 1993 and on his retirement was awarded 36 of these bottles.  After much research and discussion we are fairly sure that the majority was consumed in his own homes with only one bottle appearing at auction since 1993. 

This bottle was gifted to a friend who has kept it hidden away until this point…this could well and truly be one of two bottles remaining of this Glenlivet.
