DRINKS giant Diageo has said it is honoured to receive five Royal Warrants of Appointment from King Charles III across its range of brands.

These Royal Warrants have been granted to: Justerini & Brooks Wine & Spirits Merchants, John walker & Sons (Johnnie Walker) and Royal Lochnager for its Scotch whisky brands, Tanqueray Gordon & Company as Gin Distillers and The Pimm’s Company.

Tanqueray Gordon & Company has received Royal Warrants for nearly a century now.

Diageo said it was proud that each brand, all of which previously held Royal Warrants under Queen Elizabeth II, has received this recognition for supplying Royal Households and shares the commitment to the highest standards of service, quality, excellence and craftsmanship.

For Justerini & Brooks, the wine merchant has held a Royal Warrant for its supply of wines for the Coronation of King George III in 1761. Johnnie Walker held a Royal Warrant to the monarch for the supply of its Scotch whiskies since King George V in 1934, and this is the fifth Royal Warrant to be granted to Tanqueray Gordon & Company over almost a whole century – since 1925.

Dan Mobley, global corportate relations director at Diageo and grantee for the Royal Warrant held by John Walker & Sons, said: “It is a great privilege to supply our products to the Royal Household, and with the granting of these five new Royal Warrants to HM The King, we will display His Majesty’s Royal Arms on these brands with immense pride.”
