Diageo Game of Thrones Collection (2019) 9 X 70cl

The entire 9 bottles Game of Thrones Limited Edition Collection.

Winter is here! Following the seventh and final series of Game of Thrones released in 2019, this collection of nine limited edition single malts celebrates the legacy of the seminal HBO series and the George RR Martin books that inspired it.

Seven bottles in the collection pay tribute to one of the seven Houses of Westeros, one to The Night's Watch and one final expression for the Six Kingdoms released after the first eight. Released by Diageo in collaboration with the makers of the series, each of the expressions features a unique design taken from the house sigils.

HOUSE TARGARYEN

70cl / 40%

A Cardhu with the warmth and spice to conquer the Seven Kingdoms, and the delicacy to rule them: this Speyside single malt is a cornucopia of orchard fruit, freshly-baked crumble, a touch of caramel on the side and a drying finish.

HOUSE TYRELL
CLYNELISH RESERVE

70cl / 51.2%

With a dryness comparable to the wit of the Queen of Thorns, a flavourful palate worthy of the The Reach's rich soil and a 51.6% ABV as punchy as the Tyrell armies, this Clynelish offers up an excellent balance of sweet and dry; wood, leather and zesty, tropical fruit.

70cl / 40%

A tumultuous dram worthy of the Stormlands, and House Baratheon's internal conflict. At once zesty, citrus and floral, and earthy and lightly bitter, this whisky – like House Baratheon – has two sides to it: the light and the dark; the jovial and the brutish.

70cl / 40%

From Dufftown on the banks of the River Fiddich, The Singleton of Glendullan is, much like House Tully, a product of the Riverlands – just with a lower-case 'r'. A sweet and fruity dram, this single malt is heaving with vanilla, chocolate and cereal notes, all lifted by a lively spice.

70cl / 45.8%

Talisker is 'made by the sea'; House Greyjoy and the people of the Iron Islands are seafaring folk who worship the Drowned God – the sea is intrinsic to both, & as evident in this whisky as you'd expect. Coastal, briny notes mingle with wafts of wood-smoke, savoury seaweed on stone & a rich, spicy sweetness.

70cl / 46%

A whisky as rich as the Lannisters, this is a fantastic Lagavulin full of all the thick peat smoke and sweet, chewy, citrus-fruit notes you'd expect from the distillery. Golden caramel & vanilla join the fray, alongside a flash of vibrant greenery.

70cl / 43%

The Starks embody all the best of the North; full of warmth & honesty, what you see is, for the most part, what you get – so it is with Dalwhinnie Winter's Frost. Despite its name, this single malt is a warming, summery dram full of bitter-sweet citrus & candied zest.

70cl / 43%

Despite its members' dark demeanours, The Night's Watch is the light of the Seven Kingdoms; the first defence against the encroaching Long Night. This waxy, complex Oban shares that nature: behind this bottle's dark exterior lies a substantial, yet light dram in which berry fruit & cocoa are lifted by an airy menthol note.

70cl / 46%

The oldest whisky in the Game of Thrones range, this 15-year-old from Mortlach distillery has been aged in both first-fill sherry casks & ex-bourbon barrels. A whisky with depth to match the roots of the oldest weirwood tree, it combines fresh fruit, vanilla & wood-spice flavours. A trio worthy of the Three-eyed Raven which adorns the bottle.
