About this deal

Comment: Really well put together. One for drinking by an open hearth with friends, possibly over ice.

White Walker released by Johnnie Walker | Scotch Whisky

White Walker by John Walker เป็นหนึ่งในวิสกี้คอลเล็กชันใหม่ Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collectionที่จะวางขายในเดือน พฤศจิกายน มีทั้งหมด 9 แบบ เป็นตัวแทนของ 7 อาณาจักร, The Night’s Watch, และ The White Walkers ราคาขวดละ 30-65 ดอลลาร์ฯ (ราว 1,000-2,200 บาท) แล้วแต่แบบ The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection The downside to drinking whisky chilled is that you won't be able to take your time with it, as you'll find yourself rushing to finish the drink before it warms up.

Just like The Long Night, it works very well in one specific set of circumstances. And very poorly everywhere else. Using fancy temperature-sensitive ink technology, whisky-swilling GoT fans will always be reminded that “Winter is Coming” with this whisky—when the bottle is frozen, turn it to the side and watch the eerie slogan slowly reveal itself. Whiskies don’t come more magical than this.

Walker White Walker Review - Barrel and Brew Johnnie Walker White Walker Review - Barrel and Brew

Fast forward to modern day, November 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic is hitting its second (or third?) peak here in the US, and the final season of Game of Thrones turned out to be so amazingly awful that even with all the time in the world to sit at home and re-watch whatever they want, absolutely no one is re-watching Game of Thrones. Associated merchandise is similarly languishing, since everyone still has a bitter taste in their mouth from the way the series ended and would prefer to simply move on and forget it ever happened. Offshore Island deliveries will take longer than two days including Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Scottish Highlands and Islands and Scilly Isles. Created by whisky specialist George Harper, this whisky is made with malts from Clynelish and Cardhu, bringing you aromas of zesty orange and dried apricot, with notes of toffee, vanilla, ginger snaps, warm cinnamon and almond on the palate, and a hint of fresh cherry cut through by a smoky oak heat. And that’s not all… Nose: Custard creams, crisp green apple skin, banoffee pie yoghurt and hints of morning dew, fresh cut grass, sugared almonds and coconut oil. Some would say that the whiskey experience would be dampened by chilling/ice. By reducing the volatility of the alcohol, you lose a lot of the flavors and aroma typically had.

Palate: A little oak grip that gives way to vanilla slices. A hint of dusty spices, cinnamon and all spice, and some charred wood. the Johnnie Walker WhiteWalker has a nice bottle, wherein it features the night king wearing a top hat, and the details on the bottle itself is amazing (especially the bottlecap). But the drink itself has a weird smoky aftertaste, and it's not that smooth. The biggest thing I get in the aroma is some apple and cherry fruit notes. There’s the usual expected vanilla with a touch of caramel present, but the fruit is what stands out the most. That said, it isn’t exactly strong — it’s light enough that you might mistaken it for some of the lighter unwanted compounds that typically get cut from a good run of whiskey. But there’s just enough depth to make it noteworthy.

With the added ice, you can see why there’s such saturation in the fruit flavors when taken neat. The ice and the cold has a tendency to reduce or eliminate the more subtle flavors, and in this case that’s happening here as well. Those vanilla and caramel notes are almost completely gone, leaving just the apple and perhaps a bit of cinnamon strong enough to survive the winter.Winter has arrived with this limited edition whisky, inspired by Game of Thrones, taking you right to the Frozen North with this bottle of Johnnie Walker White Walker Whisky. On the finish, I can see why they advise to try this chilled — there’s a good bit of bitterness on the finish that tends to ruin the experience. A bit of ice should help that out considerably. Otherwise, just like Season 8, it leaves a pretty bad taste in your mouth. On Ice Those flavors translate into the taste as well, with the fruit being the most notable item on the menu. It’s actually got a surprisingly good bit of saturation on that fruit note in the flavor — typically a scotch whisky only has a hint of fruit and tends to be lighter and more subtle, but this is closer to a watered down fruit-punch juice.
