General description

Walks all by itself...

Nose

Much like my original view of Johnnie Walker in general, this version of the famous whisky wasn’t something I was chasing at any stage, but like Johnnie Walker, in general, I’m a converted fan, with Black Label, Gold Label and Green Label among my favourites, and this White Walker isn’t the worst either… On the nose there is the signature smoke, hint of spices to come, and some fruit that could be green fizzy apple meets green slightly watery grape. Barley is here, as is a little malt and then the ubiquitous vanilla and caramel, yet balanced with the other flavours and gently done.

Palate

Creamy, with a kick of spice and some vanilla and caramel continuing. There’s not quite as much as the nose promised, but what there is works nicely against the nose, albeit squeezing the whisky blend into a smaller space flavour-wise. Definitely cinnamon in terms of how the spice works out, but maybe some nuttiness right at the end.

Finish

Like all Johnnie Walkers I’ve tried, the finish extends quite a bit, with the spice maintained lightly and the nuttiness playing on the palate in the form of brazil or hazelnut for me.  The cinnamon that came to the party late on the taste carries on into the finish, dissolving into the spice and echoing the nose with some hints of fruitiness and the barley returning, a little mutedly.  This is a slight departure from the Clynelish and Cardhu references, despite appearing (I’ve read) to draw from them, in that the flavours are less traditional Johnnie Walker, yet this whisky works, and scores well overall.

The first Game of Thrones Blended Scotch Whisky's. 41.7% Abv. Purchased at $46.99.

Rating: 70/100, -1 for value. Final: 69/100

This isn't that great, I think the other 2 Blends that Johnnie released for Game if Thrones was better. That metallic taste isnt very appealing, and is dominant on the palate. A basic Whisky that is around red labels quality but isnt priced that way. This is a gimmick Whisky for Game of Thrones. The others are good and Ill review those soon but this was a low grade blend that was priced too high. Before season 8's premier, these were never out of stock but never sat on shelves either. Now, the inventory part has not changed, but it now sits on shelves. Get on sale or not at all, the bottle is cool if you put it in the freezer and is great for friends who like Game of thrones or doesn't drink Whisky too much or both but if you come across the two other blends that are cheaper and better or the single malts, pick them up. Im not buying this again, theres better Whisky out there for the cost.

Nose

vanilla, berry, caramel, floral, milk chocolate, smores, Graham crackers

Palate

(light palate) vanilla, floral, berry, pollen, metalic taste, milk chocolate

Finish

metallic taste, Graham crackers, and pollen. (Short Finish)

I can see why they say to serve this frozen - it’s so you want taste how bad it is. Not much of a step up from Johnnie Red. Cool bottle though. I’m glad I tried it, but I won’t be buying this again. It’s a novelty item.

Love the bottle. Just a shame the whisky inside falls flat. No real flavour to it nothing intricate in either room temp or out of the freezer. The mouth feel on this whisky feels slightly gritty like cheap chocolate.

a very cool bottle and needed if collecting the G.O.T. collection. overall a very average blend though. it's as expected. when served cold to bring out the bottle writing the flavor is subdued. little complexity.

Best news first: The bottle is awesome.
Additional good news: It's not completely undrinkable. But this it where it ends. Burned caramel on tge nose with small hints of vanilla. Taste is similar with even fainter hints of fruit. Finish is rather short and bland.
