I tested the White Walker with Ambassador Whiskey Jérôme Laflamme, who offers workshops to discover the Johnnie Walker. Despite the fact that it is suggested to drink it cold, we tasted it at room temperature. Not really knowing what this edition is composed especially in number of years of aging, it was necessary to go a little blind.

Jérôme Laflamme: “It is still sweet and different from the other products in the range, there is no taste of smoke. There is at least 3 years of age because it is what it takes to be called Whiskey, otherwise it would be a Moonshine. I am curious to try it cold. We will put it in the snow to cool the product. Feels less vanilla and caramel. We lose the pleasant taste of whiskey.”

The latter is composed of single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish, the most northern distilleries in Scotland. Master distiller George Harper used Frozen North as the starting point for Johnnie Walker’s creation of White Walker. He said: “Clynelish whiskeys have had long Scottish winters, similar to those of Night Watch who have ventured north of the wall – so this is the perfect place to create this unique whiskey.”

A special collaboration.

“Once Johnnie Walker had considered the possibility of working together on a Game of Thrones whiskey, we knew that the idea was perfect and that the time had come. From the beginning, they realized that we wanted to create something special and they did it with White Walker by Johnnie Walker. We are confident that fans will enjoy sipping this delicious whiskey pending Season 8 and beyond, “said Jeff Peters, Vice President, Licensing and Retail at HBO.
