House Stark’s resiliency, strength and ability to thrive under the most intense situations are greatly shaped by Winterfell’s frigid temperatures. Dalwhinnie, known for being one of the highest distilleries in all of Scotland is cold and remote much like Thee North where House Stark calls home, making the two an iconic pairing. Extreme conditions are responsible for shaping the signature Dalwhinnie Winter’s Frost honeyed sweetness and spicy warmth. Naturally, it’s best served chilled or over ice. Cardhu Gold Reserve – House Targaryen Game of Thrones To celebrate the eighth and final season of the critically-acclaimed TV series, Game of Thrones, Diageo and HBO have released a limited-edition collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies. The collection features eight scotch whiskies, each paired with one of the iconic Houses of Westeros, as well as the Night’s Watch, giving fans an authentic taste of the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. Clynelish Reserve: An underlying, complex combination of Highland and maritime notes, complemented by bursts of fresh tropical fruits that give way to a smooth vanilla character. Paired with House Tully is The Singleton of Glendullan. The power of water flows through both House Tully and The Singleton of Glendullan Select. It is decorated with a jumping trout, the sigil of House Tully. Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Crafted from 100% malted Scottish barley using unique production techniques these single malts are aged in a variety of oak casks.The Singleton of Glendullan Select: Spice and rich and creamy aromas of sandalwood and fruit on the nose. The palate is sweet with spice, fruits and deep notes of violets and orange peel. The finish is intense, warm and dry with an aromatic aftertaste. Palate: Again, that classic Oban chocolate-orange thing is front and center, but there’s some extra lactic tang in the finish reminiscent of leesy chardonnay. The finish is strong, with yeasty bread, shortbread, and a drying sensation that invites another sip. Lean and muscular. A little bit plain, but nicely enjoyable.

Palate: Very sweet and a little earthy up front, with some dried banana, strong smoke, clove, burnt caramel, salty dark caramel, and lots of saline maritime goodness, with mint, cannabis, and lanolin peeking through. The long finish is oddly cooling and refreshing, with spearmint, eucalyptus, ash, and salt. Very fun.

But I think that it's smart to buy what tastes good, or what we believe is likely to be good whisky to drink.” Dalwhinnie Winter's Frost: Honeyed sweetness and spicy warmth. The palate delivers sweet notes of honey and fresh fig followed by maltiness and decadent fruit cake.

Nose: Toasty and savory, like a piece of whole-wheat toast slathered in salted butter. There’s also a pronounced Concord grape note, some grassy/stemmy stuff, honey, and a good dose of leathery vanilla bean. The complete set of the Diageo's 2018 collaboration with HBO, which sees their Classic Malts range reimagined as being somehow related to the landed houses of the Game of Thrones television series.
