Distiller John Walker & Sons has bottled 60 crystal decanters of Diamond Jubilee Blended Scotch Whisky to mark the Queen’s 60 years on the throne.

The grain and malt whiskies have been maturing in a marrying cask of English oak from the Queen’s Sandringham Estate since 1952.

The amber liquor is presented in lead crystal decanter adorned with a Britannia silver collar, featuring a half-carat diamond set by hand, and a numbered seal.

It also comes with a pair of hand-engraved lead crystal glasses and a leather-bound, hand-embellished artifact book.
