King George IV

Brand info:

KingGeorgeIVPoster

However strange it sounds this blend is made in honor of King George IV despite the fact that he was the regent that put the 1823 excise act into law.

Registered around 1880 by Distiller’s Company Ltd.

Diageo owns the rights to the brand, but it’s not been bottled since 1980.
