7 Game of Thrones themed whiskies: The new collection of malts

The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection launch full collection

Game of Thrones final season (SAD!) is only 6 sleeps away and to celebrate, here’s a new range of whiskies to try (responsibly) each night until the grand unveiling. Get shopping. Named fittingly after each family house of Westeros, the Game of Thrones range is a nice taster back into the season we’ve been waiting over a year for. Each bottle is inspired by the fearlessness of the family it represents, bodied to-boot and with packaging that strikes as much fear into an observer, drinker or entertainer, as a cold, heartless stare from Cersei Lannister. Here’s what each bottle is about… Game of Thrones House Stark – Dalwhinnie Winter’s Frost 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 one of the highest distilleries 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. TASTE: Honey and fresh fig develop on the palate followed by a delicious maltiness and rich fruit cake.

Johnnie Walker joins the Game of Thrones with new bottle, “White Walker”

Johnnie Walker white 1

Because summer is damn hot and most apartments in Sydney don’t come with aircon (who planned that?!), we have to seek alternative relief. Enter the new White Walker by Johnnie Walker whisky. It’s as cold as your exes’ heart but a thousand times more tasty – and intoxicating – and has recently launched to Australia, making it the first global whisky brand to join the Game of Thrones franchise with a much more refined palette. Sources very close to the Night King have leaked it’s the thorny-headed prick’s favourite beverage, thanks in large part to its woody aromatics, full bodied colour, perspicacity around the easily-influenced and chic white bottling. Amongst other things, the new batch also goes nicely with food as proven by the Johnnie Walker national whisky ambassador Simon McGoram who worked with chef of the Bondi Iceberg’s to whip-up a smashing degustation for its national launch in Sydney recently. It’s also won the heart of  Global World Class Bartender of the Year 2018, Orlando Marzo, who’s been whipping-up drinks with it since he took the crown.
