A SCOTTISH whisky firm has launched a limited edition collection of Game of Thrones-inspired malts.
Diageo has teamed up with HBO to celebrate the final season of the popular TV series.
The collection includes eight whiskies to mark eight seasons of the programme, each paired with one of the Houses of Westeros and the Night’s Watch, giving fans an authentic taste of the Seven Kingdoms and beyond.
The whiskies are released on February 19 but are available to pre-order now from Amazon or one of Diageo’s eight distilleries: Dalwhinnie, Glen Ord (Singleton), Cardhu, Lagavulin, Oban, Talisker, Royal Lochnagar and Clynelish.
Prices range from £38 to £65.
The malts include House Targaryen (Cardhu Gold Reserve), House Lannister (Lagavulin 9 Year Old), The Night’s Watch (Oban Bay Reserve), House Greyjoy (Talisker Select Reserve), House Baratheon (Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old) and House Tyrell (Clynelish Reserve).
The malts join White Walker by Johnnie Walker, a limited-edition blend inspired by the most enigmatic and feared
characters on Game of Thrones – the White Walkers.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
