Game of Thrones, DIAGEO and HBO are also releasing a limited-edition collection of single malt scotch whiskies inspired by the show. Okay, so what does JW White Walker actually taste like? Well, I was a little skeptical about the bottle saying best served directly from the freezer, so I tried it room temperature first. I found it to be average with nutty and fruity notes and a strong spice on the finish. After just one sip, I decided to let it rest in the freezer for a couple hours, and I must say, it’s definitely better that way. Each of the Game of Thrones Scotch whiskies has been paired with a particular house from the seven kingdoms in the television series, plus also the Night’s Watch guard, said Diageo. Finish: Even when served out of the freezer, there’s some warmth to the finish. The finish is much lighter served cold. At room temperature, there’s much more spice to it.

House Tully located at Riverrun rules as the lord of the River lands. The power of water flows through both House Tully and the Singleton Glendullan Select as it is made on the banks of the River Fiddich in the wooded hills of Dufftown. Here they harnessed the water that flowed through the land utilizing a water wheel to power the entire distillery. Finally, during my second glass it hit me. This tasted just like a smore. Not one where the marshmallow gets a nice golden color. This was a marshmallow that was forged in the fire and had the charred outside to prove it.One of the cool things about JW WW is about what’s on the outside of the bottle, not the inside. The bottle features a icy white and blue wrapping with the walking man on the front. However, much like a Coors Light can, the bottle changes when it reaches temperatures below freezing. Whisky was simply a commodity offered by John Walker and his grocery store. However, after his death in 1857, Alexander Walker took over and transformed it into a booming business. A law passed in 1860 further softened the laws around scotch, and Alexander Walker took advantage. Whisky sales became 90% of their sales in comparison to the previous 8% or so under his father. Lagavulin is one of the most legendary single malt brands and has been crafted on the shores of Islay for more than 200 years – mirroring the meticulous calculation and tenacity employed by the Lannister’s in their rise to conquer the Iron throne. This single malt whisky is a roaring single malt that recalls the Lannister’s riches and is best served neat or with a single drop of water. This whisky is supposed to evoke the idea of being around dragons by its use of Caol Ila in the blend. A workhorse distillery that makes up the main peaty component of all standard Johnny Walker blends, but seems to be all but absent from this blend. I was hoping for a massive peat-forward blend that poured like a bonfire, but as you’ll see below, it was barely a match strike.

When the bottle reaches temperatures below freezing, the bottle undergoes some changes. The eyes of the walking man logo become icy blue. The side of the bottle features the message “WINTER IS HERE”, and some extra icy blue slash marks are added to the bottle. Is Johnnie Walker White Walker Different? Besides this new, limited-edition release with HBO, there is Game of Thrones wine. Game of Thrones beer. More Game of Thrones whisky, but, you know, different than this Game of Thrones whisky. Game of Thrones sneakers. Maybe some of those Game of Thrones Oreos are still floating around. Johnnie Walker White Walker isn’t the only GoT inspired offering. They have two others – Johnnie Walker A Song of Ice and A Song of Fire – corresponding with House Stark and House Targaryen. FAQ To those unaware of GoT’s White Walkers, they are an undead army that lives “north of the wall”. They have icy blue eyes, use spears and weapons forged with ice, and plan to kill everything and turn the world into the undead army.Feelings of nostalgia hit and it seemed to be the perfect drink to have outside around a night fire. I suppose that fits the theme of GoT as well. Drinking around a fire as winter comes. JW White Walker Price At the heart of this innovative blend are single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish—one of Scotland’s most northern distilleries. House Stark’s resiliency, strength, and ability to thrive under the most intense situations are greatly shaped by Winterfell’s frigid temperatures. Dalwhinnie, known for being the highest distillery in all of Scotland is cold and remote much like the North where House Stark calls home, making the two an iconic pairing. Extreme conditions are responsible for shaping the signature Dalwhinnie Winter’s Frost honeyed sweetness and spicy warmth. Naturally, it’s best served chilled or over ice. House Greyjoy rules the Iron Islands and worships the Drowned God. Talisker was a natural pair for House Greyjoy as this single malt is distilled on the shores of the Isle of Skye, one of the most remote and rugged areas of Scotland. The layered flavors and signature maritime character of Talisker Select Reserve are the result of its wave-battered shores. This liquid is an intense smoky single malt scotch with spicy, powerful and sweet elements combined with maritime flavors. In celebration of the eighth and final season of the critically-acclaimed TV series, Game of Thrones, Johnnie Walker is proud to introduce a number of products inspired by the show.
