Scotch whisky brand, Johnnie Walker, has launched the new White Walker whisky inspired by the most enigmatic and feared characters in Game of Thrones TV series – the White Walkers.

WuzupNaija reports that the new whisky was created in collaboration with American premium cable and satellite television network, Home Box Office – HBO® and Game of Thrones.

At the launch event held at the FCA Showroom in Victoria Island Lagos, the winter-themed event treated celebrities, media influencers and fans of the hit show to an immersive experience with a live orchestral performance of the GOT Theme song as arranged by Johnnie Walker.

Speaking of the partnership, Guinness Nigeria Plc’s Marketing Director, Adenike Adebola, explained that

“At the heart of this innovative new blend are single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish, one of Scotland’s most northern distilleries where whiskies have endured long Scottish winters, not dissimilar to the climate north of the wall.

“White Walker by Johnnie Walker is best served cold directly from the freezer and features an unexpected icy reveal on the bottle when chilled: So enjoy Season 8 of Game of Thrones with some White Walker inspired cocktails”.

The Chief Customer Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, Martin Mabutho, also said the return of Season 8 of Game of Thrones, and the partnership with Diageo’s White Walker is both exciting and phenomenal.

He added that “It’s our own way of delighting our DStv Premium customers and encouraging other subscribers to step up, so they don’t miss out on our exciting and entertaining contents.

“Game of Thrones as we all know is a medieval fantasy epic, which tells the story of powerful families playing a deadly game to sit atop the Iron Throne. So, without a doubt, our Premium subscribers are in for a wonderful experience.

“Game of Thrones premieres Monday 15 April on M-Net channel 101 at 10pm. That’s 24 hours after it airs in the US and exclusive to DStv Premium customers.”
