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.
This Dalwhinnie is a non-age-statement single malt from the Highlands, representing House Stark and featuring a fearsome direwolf on the label.
Like House Stark, Dalwhinnie Winter’s Frost stays true to the flavour profile which the Speyside distillery is known for, and not only survives the cold of winter, but uses it to its advantage.
Nose: Produced at the highest altitude working distillery in Scotland, the cold helps to produce a unique floral, heather honey character.
Palate: Winter's Frost gently opens on the palate with rich manuka honey served over fresh figs before it slowly develops on the palate into delicious malt balls.
Finish: A final rich fruit cake finish.
Jim Murray has scored this Game of Thrones Dalwhinnie Winters Frost House Stark as 87.5/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible.
‘The delightful burst of juicy barley just after the tame delivery is all too brief’
