Dalwhinnie Winter's Frost (Game of Thrones-House Stark)

Sharp, as in immature, get a strong grain taste. The first (of five) Game of Thrones scotches that I regret purchasing.

Color: Bronze Nose: Honey, red berries, peach, citrus, oak, and toffee. Palate: Citrus, nutmeg, spice, honey, toffee, maple, and a touch of red berries. Finish: Smooth and medium, spicy, oak, and the sweetness fades.

Here i start my reviews on some of the Game of Thrones Whiskies that recently appeared on the market. House Stark, from Dalwhinnie (actually called "Dalwhinnie Winter's Frost"), is a NAS whisky that tells the story of the Starks, one of the most important families on Hbo's tv series "GOT". Actually, the whisky is pretty nice, nothing to die for, the box where the bottle comes is a lot more beautiful than the actual bottle. On the nose, super fruity. Red Apples, Gerber Porridge, prunes and apricots. On the palate it is a little straightforward, but easy drinkable. A little watery, tastes like sider and hints of ginger. Aftertaste is a little smoky and some toasted oak notes appear. Overall this is the most average whisky ever. It tastes good and works well. Not expensive and collectable. 82 over 100 seems fit for it.

I thought this qould be a bit more than i expected. In the end i was a bit disappointed. The nose is good, with smoke, wood and peat. Peat...yes. the front palate is solid, but it drips off fast and doesnt come back until the very end after you swallow. Im not sure I'd buy this. There just isn't enough consistency to it.

A god damn steal. 45 bucks in salt lake. Much more complex than their 15 yr. I previously shit on the Game of Throne releases as a cash grab, and some are, but this is awesome.
