Created by blender George Harper and the Johnnie Walker team, the whisky uses single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish in the blend, and is said to have ‘notes of caramelised sugar and vanilla, fresh red berries with a touch of orchard fruit’. Their apparent leader is the Night King, portrayed by Richard Brake and Vladimir Furdik, who first appeared in the episode " Oathkeeper", in which he places his hand on Craster's baby son, transforming him into a White Walker.

An Enlightening Q&A With Johnnie Walker's First Female Master Blender". InsideHook . Retrieved 31 December 2022. White Walker by Johnnie Walker was inspired by the White Walkers on the hit TV series – Game of Thrones. This limited edition whisky was launched in October 2018. Combining single malts from one of Scotland’s most Northern distillery – Clynelish and the Cardhu distillery, this blend has notes of fresh red berries, vanilla, and caramelised sugar. Nose: Subdued out of the freezer but has notes of caramel and spice. Berries and mango seem to pop in and out as the whisky slowly warms. Once fully warm the whisky reminds me of butterscotch milkshake with a caramel drizzle. In the third episode " The Long Night", the Army of the Dead marches on Winterfell and nearly wipes out the combined armies of the living. The Night King eventually reaches the Godswood, kills Theon Greyjoy, and prepares to strike down Bran. However, the Night King is ambushed and killed by Arya Stark with the Valyrian steel dagger that Bran had previously given her (" The Spoils of War"), which causes both him and the other White Walkers to shatter and results in the complete obliteration of the Army of the Dead.In 2009, the advertising agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) created a new short film, starring Robert Carlyle and directed by Jamie Rafn, titled The Man Who Walked Around the World, which outlined the history of the Johnnie Walker brand.

Tasting Notes Summary For most of its history Johnnie Walker only offered a few blends. Since the turn of the century, there has been a spate of special and limited bottlings. The limited-edition product, which was teased earlier this year, is said to have been inspired by the White Walkers, the show’s ‘most enigmatic and feared characters’, and will be released this month as Game of Thrones nears its final season.

This blend 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.”Johnny Walker – History".
