Johnnie Walker whisky



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

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

Created by whisky specialist George Harper, alongside the small team of expert blenders at Johnnie Walker, the innovative whisky is created for fans to enjoy as anticipation builds towards the final season of the hit TV series.

According to a statement on Thursday, the limited-edition whisky evokes the icy world of the White Walkers who are known by their icy blue eyes and led by the Night King.

The statement reads:

“The bottling brings you right to the Frozen North with an icy white and blue design along with the iconic Johnnie Walker Striding Man now fashioned in armour to fit in among the ranks of the Night King’s forces. Utilising temperature-sensitive ink technology, fans will be reminded that “Winter is Here” from an unexpected graphic icy reveal on the bottle when frozen.

“The Scotch has notes of caramelised sugar and vanilla, fresh red berries with a touch of orchard fruit and features Single Malts from Cardhu and Clynelish – one of Scotland’s most Northern distilleries.

“Blender George Harper used the Frozen North as his starting point for creating White Walker by Johnnie Walker. He said: ‘Whiskies from Clynelish have endured long, Scottish winters, not dissimilar to the long periods endured by the Night’s Watch who have ventured north of the wall – so it was the perfect place to start when creating this unique whisky.”

The Vice President, Licensing & Retail at HBO, Jeff Peters, noted that:

“We knew there was fan appetite for a Game of Thrones whisky and once we saw the vision from Johnnie Walker for a way to collaborate 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’ve accomplished that with White Walker by Johnnie Walker.

“We’re confident fans will enjoy sipping this delicious whisky as they wait for season eight and beyond.”

According to the statement White Walker by Johnnie Walker is available in Nigerian retail stores at a price point of N14,000 for 700ml (41.7% ABV).
