Blended
Scotland
A limited edition whisky from Johnnie Walker, inspired by the absurdly popular television programme, Game of Thrones (in turn based off of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series). Created by whisky specialist George Harper and his team, this whisky features malts from Clynelish (aptly one of the most northern Scotch whisky distilleries) and Cardhu, among others. The bottle has a temperature-sensitive graphic that will spell out the words “Winter is here” when it's at the right temperature for serving.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Soft hints of orange Fruit Pastilles and dried apricot. Toffee, vanilla pod and ginger snaps.
More vanilla again, this time paired with cinnamon and almond. Hints of fresh cherry and cut oak heat.
Lingering peppery malt and festive spices.

The clues were all there. When the bottle asks you to freeze it before drinking that should say it all. It was terrible at room temperature and on lay a little bit less terrible when frozen. It’s a novelty item for sure and better for those that put cola with their whisky. It’s totally unacceptable as a sipping whisky. Its not for whisky drinkers but is an intro to whisky for people who like game of thrones. May be a commercial success but way overpriced and worth avoiding for whisky fans.
Not content with killing thousands and desecrating their bodies, spearing an extremely endangered species to death and smashing a hole in a millennia-old structure that must be Grade-1 listed, the Night King has saved his biggest atrocity for the world of whisky. I must agree with one of the other reviews - heavy artificial vanilla and what is that metallic taste about? Valerian steel, perhaps. This isn't actively unpleasant but its certainly bordering on it. I suppose it could be mixed without offending anybody and, with enough ice, its drinkable but I would take nearly all of the entry-level, no-age-statement basic blends over this.
Basic grain-heavy blend. Artificial vanilla and a strange metallic note throughout both on the nose and the palate. I tried this at room temperature and from the freezer, as recommended by JW. And guess what; they were right! It is better from the freezer........because you can't taste half of it. This seriously is basic blend territory. Getting people to pay £40 for it is borderline genius.
Surprisingly good! Different, just different, and truly enjoyable.
A very different whisky to the others in the range, It's the first time I have had a whisky without ice as it is stored in the freezer before opening. The immediate impression is that it seems to be more silky than most whiskies and the ice coldness is easily adjusted to. Very different and to me very likeable at an affordable price.
