Johnnie Walker launches two whiskies to celebrate Game of Thrones

Johnnie Walker and HBO Licensing and Retail have introduced two new Scotch whiskies in honour of the enduring legacy of the critically acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones.

The limited edition whiskies inspired by the iconic and powerful House Stark of Winterfell and House Targaryen of Westeros, are now available in Kenya.

The two new whiskies are successors to the White Walker by Johnnie Walker Limited Edition Scotch, which launched in 2018.

Johnnie Walker A Song of Ice features single malts from Clynelish, one of Scotland’s most northern distilleries, and exudes a crisp, clean taste like the unforgiving force of ice that shapes mountains and stops rivers.

The new Scotch has the bottle design that evokes an icy setting with frosted blue and gray colors inspired by the North.

The Johnnie Walker A Song of Fire is rich and spicy, boasting flavors of subtle smoke from the peated malts of the Caol Ila distillery. Its inspired by the dragons of House Targaryen, feared for their fire breathing, the bottle design evokes a fiery setting with deep-red colors.

“We were very proud to partner with Johnnie Walker again to bring more whiskies to the realm. The Game of Thrones audience continues to both engage with the culture fostered around the series and look for the special collectibles that let it live on,” said Jeff Peters, Vice President, Licensing & Retail at HBO.

“After seeing the excitement there was for White Walker by Johnnie Walker, we are thrilled to celebrate the end of an epic tale by offering more quality whisky for fans of the show and whisky enthusiasts to collect and enjoy,” he added.

Every bottle of A Song of Ice and A Song of Fire comes with a virtual direwolf or dragon. Fans of Johnnie Walker and Game of Thrones only need to click a link and scan their bottle to unlock a personalised AR experience which will be updated with new features a week later.
