Whisky was simply a commodity offered by John Walker and his grocery store. However, after his death in 1857, Alexander Walker took over and transformed it into a booming business. A law passed in 1860 further softened the laws around scotch, and Alexander Walker took advantage. Whisky sales became 90% of their sales in comparison to the previous 8% or so under his father. Okay, so what does JW White Walker actually taste like? Well, I was a little skeptical about the bottle saying best served directly from the freezer, so I tried it room temperature first. I found it to be average with nutty and fruity notes and a strong spice on the finish. After just one sip, I decided to let it rest in the freezer for a couple hours, and I must say, it’s definitely better that way. When the bottle reaches temperatures below freezing, the bottle undergoes some changes. The eyes of the walking man logo become icy blue. The side of the bottle features the message “WINTER IS HERE”, and some extra icy blue slash marks are added to the bottle. Is Johnnie Walker White Walker Different?

This whisky is supposed to evoke the idea of being around dragons by its use of Caol Ila in the blend. A workhorse distillery that makes up the main peaty component of all standard Johnny Walker blends, but seems to be all but absent from this blend. I was hoping for a massive peat-forward blend that poured like a bonfire, but as you’ll see below, it was barely a match strike. Feelings of nostalgia hit and it seemed to be the perfect drink to have outside around a night fire. I suppose that fits the theme of GoT as well. Drinking around a fire as winter comes.
