We’ve spoken of the collaboration between Johnnie Walker, HBO and Game of Thrones previously when they unveiled White Walker by Johnnie Walker. A limited-edition Scotch Whisky inspired by the feared White Walkers.
Known by their icy blue eyes and led by the Night King, the undead army of White Walkers have emerged from the Frozen North bringing with them the chill of winter and now a limited-edition whisky that evokes their icy world. Created by whisky specialist George Harper, alongside the small team of expert blenders at Johnnie Walker, this innovative whisky is best served directly from the freezer, echoing the chilling presence of the White Walkers.
