Johnnie Walker have launched a White Walker whiskey for Game of Thrones fans

The perfect gift for Game of Thrones fans

Given the fact that Game of Thrones is the biggest show in the world, the commercial potential behind a few crossovers is bigger than The Wall.

For example, we’d happily buy pies from Hot Pie, Valyrian steel from Gendry, and dragon glass from Daenerys.

FYI, those last two items will be very handy because the White Walkers have now invaded the Seven Kingdoms and while pies are good, they don’t stop the undead.

Hell, if we’re all going to die, we’re going to need a good drink.

Cersei has her wine, Tormund his sour goat’s milk, and The Hound can knock back ale like nobody else can, but what about the Night King?

Speaking of that pesky harbinger of death, winter is coming and so is the best crossover imaginable because Johnnie Walker have unveiled their new Scotch Whiskey, White Walker by Johnnie Walker.

This limited-edition whiskey is inspired by the most enigmatic and feared characters on the hit show – the White Walkers – an it’s here for fans to enjoy as anticipation builds towards the final season.

In terms of its taste, we’re told that this new innovative whiskey is best served directly from the freezer, echoing the chilling presence of the White Walkers, and that it was blended using temperature-sensitive ink technology.

The whiskey 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.

Mmm, undead and delicious.

In terms of its design, the bottle should remind Game of Thrones fans of the frozen terrain that’s north of The Wall -The Land of Always Winter – because it has an icy white and blue design along with the iconic Johnnie Walker Striding Man.

FYI, the famous logo is now fashioned with armour to fit in among the ranks of the Night King’s forces.

White Walker by Johnnie Walker will be available globally, including in all leading airports, until supplies last and it’s being priced at €36.

Winter is coming…so you might as well have a tipple to warm you up.

FYI, the Night King is probably going to kill thousands of people in Season 8 of Game of Thrones. We might as well have a drink to numb the heartbreak.

Take a look at what’s in store.
