Tasting Notes

By 1925, John Walker & Sons was amalgamated into Distillers Company Limited (which later became Diageo), and the company was granted a Royal Warrant in 1934. Egner, Jeremy (May 11, 2015).

In 1857, Alexander Walker — Johnnie Walker's eldest son — inherited the store and began improving its selection of single malt Scotch whiskies. In addition, Alexander had apprenticed with a tea merchant in Glasgow and there, had learned the art of blending tea. Under his stewardship, the House of Walker began blending whisky and bottling it in an iconic, square bottle adorned with a slanted label. By the time Alexander Walker retired in the 1880s, whisky sales represented over 95% of the store's business. My experience with Johnnie Walker’s Scotches are very hit or miss. Often when I’m cruising and can’t stomach the exorbitant prices for sub-par wines, I turn to whiskies which seem to be a better value on the ship. Many times (and with some good tips), the bartenders often indulge my geekiness. This has given me several opportunities to try all the different Johnnie Walkers side-by-side.

The ink on the bottle reacts to the cold temperature and reveals that “Winter is Here” on one side. Adorning the label of this limited release Johnnie Walker is Diageo’s depiction of the Night King (supreme leader of the White Walkers), whose eyes glow blue when the whisky is ready to be pulled from the freezer. This is a really neat effect I have never seen on a bottle before but considering both the nose and palate prefer room temperature for tasting it does make one skeptical up front. Nonetheless it is intriguing enough to try, especially if you enjoy “Game of Thrones.” At room temperature the bottle is less glossy and the blue “Winter Is Here” logo is not as visible.
