To celebrate the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, Diageo joined forces and collaborated with HBO to release a limited edition collection of eight single malt Scotch whiskies inspired by each of the Houses of Westeros and the Night's Watch.
House Tyrell of Highgarden rules over the Reach, lush and fertile region of Westeros which feeds the entire realm.
This edition contains liquid sourced from the Highland Clynelish distillery which sits amongst scenic green pastures in Scotland's north, a landscape somewhat reminiscent of Highgarden, the home of the great House of Tyrell.
Nose: Bursting with fresh tropical fruits like papaya and mango.
Palate: This single malt bursts with fresh tropical fruits and slowly subsides into a rich, creamy vanilla character with light floral notes.
Finish: The finish is deeply complex with subtle sweet, maritime notes revealing the signature Clynelish waxiness lingering on the palate.
Jim Murray has scored this Clynelish Reserve Game of Thrones House Tyrell 89/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible, ‘Striking blood orange and saline notes; a lovely malty background.’
