As part of a wider partnership with Game of Thrones production company HBO, Diageo will also launch the Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection in February 2019, featuring eight whiskies, each paired with one of the Houses of Westeros and the Night’s Watch. Dewar’s and Johnnie Walker are both blended Scotch whisky brands. They carefully select malt and grain whiskies from various distilleries around Scotland which they use to make their various ages of blended Scotch. Neither produce single malts. 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. Tasting Notes Summary Q: In becoming the first female master blender for Johnnie Walker, you are a trailblazer. What would be your advice for other women who want to work in whisky?

Using fancy temperature-sensitive ink technology, whisky-swilling GoT fans will always be reminded that “Winter is Coming” with this whisky—when the bottle is frozen, turn it to the side and watch the eerie slogan slowly reveal itself. Whiskies don’t come more magical than this.

Mouthfeel: For me, White Label has a medium body with a light pleasant texture that rolls over the palate. It is not too thin nor too cloyingly sweet and it lingers for a few moments after sipping. There’s just enough warmth from the 40% ABV to make one feel satisfied, without being overpowering or harsh. The whisky has a creamy and very slightly oily mouthfeel that fills the mouth without dominating it. Overall, White Label is smooth and enjoyable to sip on its own or with a mixer. I’m quite happy with it neat. 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.

Unlike the highly patronizing and ridiculous Jane Walker Limited Release, the White Walker is a completely new blended Scotch composed primarily of malts from Cardhu and Clynelish. Unusual for whiskeys, this blend is designed to be served cold from the freezer. While serving with a ice sphere will chill it down, the most ideal temperature for many whiskeys are in the 60-65 °F range.

The rise of blended Scotch whisky disrupted a whole range of very well established economic relationships”, Morgan explained. These included the agricultural lobby put out by the imported grain used in blends and the old Highland distillers, “who did like to think of themselves as the sort of elite of the world of whisky. Suddenly they were simply suppliers of whisky to blenders. And the little interest there had been in malt whisky was taken away because everyone wanted to drink blended Scotch.” Both groups had powerful allies in parliament.

Their blended whiskies are structured around the Highland single malt from the Aberfeldy distillery in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Using around 40 different whiskies, they use a variety of other single malts and grain spirits in their blends. Dewars have 6 bottles in their core range; their signature White Label, plus their 12, 15, 16, 18 and 25 year old expressions. However, even if you think it’s corny or dumb, it’s what’s on the inside that counts (beautiful words, I know). The whisky that comes out of the bottle is unique and tasteful, and for that, I appreciate this bottle and Johnnie Walker. After one such flight I composed a little ditty of my impressions. With my deepest apologies to Lord Byron.

Dewar’s 12 year old whisky is positioned as a mid-level blended Scotch. This 12 year old expression is crafted with over 40 single malt and grain whiskies, using their signature Aberfeldy single malt as the key structure. Dewar’s 12 has a rich, full-bodied flavour palate which can be attributed to its double maturation process. (It’s spirits are aged separately, blended and then aged again.) On the nose, Dewar’s 12 has hints of citrus, dried fruits and subtle oak influences. The taste offers sweet honey and vanilla notes with a hint of spice, culminating in a smooth and balanced finish.

Its smoky notes bring out the sweetness of the vegetables, while its pepperiness makes for an interesting contrast. Alternatively, you could pair it with a salad of mixed greens and cheese; the whisky’s smokiness brings out the nuttiness in the cheese, while its sweet and spicy notes add depth to the salad. Starters: A great starter to pair with White Label is a plate of charcuterie featuring cured meats such as salami, prosciutto and chorizo. The smoky notes in the whisky will bring out the flavours of these meats, while the herbal sweetness will complement the rich, slightly salty taste. For something more light, try a salad made from seasonal greens and fresh fruits like apples and pears. The whisky’s sweet notes are brought to life with this fresh taste. The nose changes dramatically when warm. Instead of being fresh, the fruit smells more dried and all the floral notes are gone. There is much more caramel and even a slight diesel smell which is vaguely reminiscent of Johnnie Walker Red.
