Introducing two new Scotch Whiskies to the realm, celebrating the enduring legacy of the critically acclaimed HBO® series Game of Thrones. A continued collaboration with HBO, these limited edition whisky blends are inspired by the iconic and powerful houses of Westeros – House Stark and House Targaryen – and are successors to the White Walker by Johnnie Walker limited edition blend.
From House Stark comes A Song of Ice, from House Targaryen A Song of Fire. Together, the two whiskies celebrate the dynamic relationship between the houses, represented by their house sigils – the Direwolf and the Dragon – which fiercely adorn each bottle.
Johnnie Walker - A Song of Ice
Johnnie Walker A Song of Ice features single malts from Clynelish, one of Scotland’s most northern distilleries, and exudes a crisp, clean taste like the unforgiving force of ice that shapes mountains and stops rivers. The new blend has an ABV of 43% and the bottle design evokes an icy setting with frosted blue and grey colours inspired by the North, known for its cold winters and frozen landscapes.
Johnnie Walker - A Song of Fire
Johnnie Walker A Song of Fire is rich and spicy, boasting flavours of subtle smoke from the peated malts of the Caol Ila distillery with an ABV of 43%. Inspired by the dragons of House Targaryen, feared for their fire breathing, the bottle design evokes a fiery setting with deep-red colours.
Johnnie Walker - White Walker
Distilled, blended and bottled north of the wall (well, Scotland), Johnnie Walker has made this limited edition White Walker whisky in honour of the final Game of Thrones. Unleashing our inner Westerosi, this bottle has a temperature-sensitive graphic that will spell out the words “Winter is here” when at the right temperature.
Which way are we leaning: Rooibos or regular? Milk: yes or no? The standard sugar inquiry, a two-part question if the first answer is yes.
And if you have your black belt in tea-making, one final question concerning the tea bag: in or out?
How are you supposed to remember that all if you're making tea for, oh say, 3 people?
It doesn't concern today's deals at all, but we had to think about something while we waited for the kettle to boil.
