Johnnie Walker White Walker
Johnnie Walker is arguably the most popular and recognisable blended Scotch on the market. Its core range includes the standard Red Label and Black Label, introduced in 1909 and named, quite simply, after their packaging. The iconic “striding man” motif was first drawn by Tom Browne the year prior. The premium Blue Label brand was introduced in 1992, and is composed using malt whisky from some of the most sought after distilleries in Diageo’s extensive portfolio. Today, many of these distilleries are only still with us due to their importance to the Johnnie Walker blends during the difficult 1980s period for the industry. A true champion of the whisky world.
This was a limited edition blend from Johnnie Walker, who endured a number of bizarre transmogrifications in 2018, first into a woman, and then a grumpy wall-astern snow zombie. Still Scottish then, at least.
The White Walker of course is the frosty non-blonde villain army from the HBO behemoth, Game of Thrones, and this release was just the first in a series that saw Diageo reimagine many of its Classic Malts.
In keeping with the theme, the blend contains single malt from Cardhu and Clynelish; "one of Scotland's northernmost distilleries," and is chill filtered to 1.5°.
The bottle also instructs you to freeze it "for an unexpected icy reveal." Whisky Auctioneer does not condone drinking frozen spirits.
