K5 Himalayan Whiskey is the first whiskey blended and bottled in Bhutan. The product is named “K5” after the 5th King of Bhutan, HM King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck.
A Bhutanese recipe assembled by distillers from The Gelephu Distillery, under the Bhutanese Army Welfare Project.
Sixty-Five per cent of its blend comes from eight to twelve years malt whiskeys, distilled in Scotland and aged in bourbon and sherry casks. Thirty-Five per cent is Bhutanese organic grain spirit, distilled with Himalayan glacial water to express its excellent light fruitiness with lingering sherry taste of sweetness.
