Johnnie Walker announces two new limited edition whiskies celebrating the enduring legacy of Game of Thrones – Scotch Whisky News

Johnnie Walker announces two new limited edition whiskies celebrating the enduring legacy of Game of Thrones

Johnnie Walker and HBO Licensing & Retail are introducing two new Scotch Whiskies to the realm in honour of the enduring legacy of the critically acclaimed HBO® series Game of Thrones.

A continued collaboration with HBO, these limited edition whiskies are inspired by the iconic and powerful houses of Westeros – House Stark and House Targaryen – and are successors to the White Walker by Johnnie Walker limited edition blend launched in 2018.

This is a tale of two great houses represented by two ancient creatures. One is a house descended from the First Men. Rulers of the North and builders of the wall, they thrive in the icy-cold climate of the Direwolf. The other, a noble family of Valyrian descent and the first royal house of the Seven Kingdoms.

From House Stark comes A Song of Ice, from House Targaryen A Song of Fire. Together, the two whiskies celebrate the dynamic relationship between the houses, represented by their house sigils – the Direwolf and the Dragon – which fiercely adorn each bottle. As another nod to the complicated interactions between the two great houses in the show’s storyline, Johnnie Walker’s iconic Striding Man uncharacteristically faces backwards on the A Song of Fire bottle, revealing a face-off with the Striding Man on the A Song of Ice bottle when paired side-by-side.

Bottle shots of two new Johnnie Walker liquids

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 an ABV of 40.2% and the bottle design evokes an icy setting with frosted blue and grey colours inspired by the North, known for its cold winters and frozen landscapes. Johnnie Walker A Song of Fire is rich and spicy, boasting flavours of subtle smoke from the peated malts of the Caol Ila distillery with an ABV of 40.8%. Inspired by the dragons of House Targaryen, feared for their fire breathing, the bottle design evokes a fiery setting with deep-red colours.

“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. 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,” said Jeff Peters, Vice President, Licensing & Retail at HBO.

Johnnie Walker A Song of Ice and Johnnie Walker A Song of Fire will available globally in October 2019.

CARIBOU CROSSING SINGLE BARREL CANADIAN WHISKY WINS GOLD MEDAL AT INTERNATIONAL SPIRITS CHALLENGE 2019 – Canadian Whisky News

 

CARIBOU CROSSING SINGLE BARREL CANADIAN WHISKY WINS GOLD MEDAL AT INTERNATIONAL SPIRITS CHALLENGE 2019

MONTREAL (Aug. 20, 2019) – Caribou Crossing Single Barrel Canadian Whisky was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Spirts Challenge (ISC) 2019. Such an accolade from the ISC is regarded to be the most respected and sought after in the drinks industry, due to the stringent nature of the judging process.

Caribou Crossing Single Barrel Canadian Whisky passed a scrupulous blind tasting by a world-renowned expert panel of specialist judges to beat strong competition to win the prestigious accolade of Gold. The quality of Caribou Crossing’s craftsmanship and liquid is reflected in this result.

Caribou Crossing is the world’s first single barrel Canadian whisky, it was launched in 2006 as part of Sazerac’s dedication and passion to revive the premium Canadian whisky category, and hand selected by world renowned Master Blender, Drew Mayville.

“We have been pleased with the continued growth and increased demand for Caribou Crossing Single Barrel since it was first introduced back in 2010,” said Adam P. Wilkins, associate brand manager. “Each barrel is meticulously hand selected by our Master Blender, Drew Mayville from our many barrels of whisky ageing in Canada. We are honored to receive this recognition from the ISC and it is a direct reflection of the caliber of whisky that goes into each bottle of Caribou Crossing.”

For the Tasting Awards, a highly controlled operation is held over 15 days of intense blind tastings by panels of more than 50 respected and experienced industry professionals.  Samples are delivered to the judging area in flights of numbered tasting glasses to ensure the accuracy of the blind tasting.  Each judge assesses products according to their age, region and variety which is then determined by the entrant and verified by the chairman.

Full results have been released and published on the International Spirits Challenge (ISC) website, www.internationalspiritschallenge.com with the full list of medal winners to be published in the ISC annual results magazine this month.
