Send a raven\u2014 Scotch has officially \"\"<\/a>entered the realm. In collaboration with HBO\u00ae, DIAGEO is unveiling the new White Walker by Johnnie Walker Blended Scotch Whisky and The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection. The limited-edition whiskies are inspired by the iconic characters and the creative world of Westeros and beyond and are here to tide fans over during their wait for the eighth and final season. Even the most revered Maester couldn\u2019t have predicted a collaboration of this monumental proportion.<\/p>\n

\u201cGroundbreaking partnerships continue to be a strategic initiative for Diageo as they foster exceptional creative collaboration and help showcase the breadth of our portfolio. We are very proud to have our collection of single malts and Johnnie Walker, the number one scotch whisky brand in the world, collaborate with HBO\u2019s most successful TV franchise to develop these limited-edition offerings for fans to collect and celebrate the final season of Games of Thrones,\u201d said Dan Sanborn, Senior Vice President, Culture and Partnerships at DIAGEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew there was fan appetite for a Game of Thrones whisky and once we saw Diageo\u2019s vision for a way to collaborate together we knew the idea was perfect and the time was now. From the beginning, they understood that we wanted to create something special, and they\u2019ve accomplished that with both White Walker by Johnnie Walker and the single malt collection. We\u2019re confident fans will enjoy sipping these delicious whiskies as they wait for season eight and beyond,\u201d said Jeff Peters, Vice President, Licensing & Retail at HBO.<\/p>\n

The first limited-edition offering available in the realm is White Walker by Johnnie Walker, inspired by the most enigmatic and feared characters on the show \u2014 the White Walkers. This blend was created by whisky specialist George Harper alongside the small team of expert blenders at Johnnie Walker. At the heart of this new, innovative blend are single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish \u2013 one of Scotland\u2019s most northern distilleries where whiskies have endured long Scottish winters, not dissimilar to the climate north of the wall. This special blend has notes of caramelized sugar and vanilla, fresh red berries with a touch of orchard fruit and is best served chilled \u2013 the Night King would have it no other way.<\/p>\n

The bottling brings you right to the Frozen North with its icy white and blue design along with the iconic Striding Man now fashioned in armor to fit in among the ranks of the Night King\u2019s forces. Utilizing temperature-sensitive thermal chromatic ink technology, fans will be reminded that \u201cWinter is Here\u201d from an unexpected graphic icy reveal on the bottle when frozen.<\/p>\n

The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection features eight, scotches that are all new to the U.S., and are each paired with one of the iconic Houses of Westeros, as well as the Night\u2019s Watch, giving fans an authentic taste of the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. Diageo\u2019s unparalled diverse range of distilleries in Scotland, much like in Westoros, each have their own unique characteristics and produce a distinctive whisky representative of its local terroir. These similarities were the inspiration behind the collection, drawing an authentic storyline between each House and single malt pairing \u2013 from the power of water between both House Tully and The Singleton of Glendullan, to the legendary women behind House Targaryen and Cardhu, or the royal lineage of House Baratheon and Royal Lochnagar and more.<\/p>\n

These limited-edition whiskies are certain to be as fleeting as the holder of the Iron Throne, so be sure to have White Walker by Johnnie Walker or one of the unparalleled Game of Thrones Single Malt whiskies on hand to toast to the final season before they are all gone.<\/p>\n
