Westeros Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 HBO and Diaego have announced a partnership to bring Johnnie Walker to Westeros with a collection of nine whiskys. One of the most striking, visually, is the limited-edition White Walker blend best served out of the freezer… and with a special thermochromic ink on the bottle that changes according to temperature. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau had a chance to enjoy it, though normally speaking Jaime Lannister would rather not face a White Walker. read on >>> View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleevedge Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Well I'm going to be stocking up on House Lannister, even though it's not my favorite house. In my opinion they got the best distillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umber Jack Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Diageo... Marketing... That's like the planned "spin-offs to the HBO hit show". Better buy from independent distilleries, e.g. honour the Iron Islands with Highland Park's Viking series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It's a pretty gimmicky marketing ploy. Diageo are anathema to many whisky enthusiasts because they mostly tend to adhere strictly to chill filtration, which can seem to diminish the body and mouthfeel of the whisky. I'm not sure taste is affected but I do often feel chill filtered whiskies lack body and/or mouthfeel; it's like you lose something in that middle point after the first taste and before the aftertaste. That said, I may try them (apart from the JW blend) depending on the price. I do love a Lagavulin 16, a Clynelish 14, or a Talisker 10 but these GoT releases are likely to consist predominantly of much younger whisky.

Byfort of Corfe Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Glenfiddich for me, none of this Bravo Sierra "drink what Tyrion drinks junk for me". I gave that sort of thing up when I was a kid and I tried Tang, a truly horrible drink even if the astronauts drank it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taraskievik Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Although I do not like Johnny Walker, I would like to drink and try. John Walker Black is fine, if White Walker is of a similar class, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
