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

This whiskey smells amazing rich sherried nose honey oak flavour is rich fruit and honey only slight peat more of a spice in the finish very unique and tastey water makes it too smooth and less complex but newer whiskey fans will appreciate it

This is a fine whisky on its own. Creamy, malty mouthfeel and a classic Highland smell on the nose. The whisky is oily, with an extra long finish. I like mine with just a splash of water, as it brings out a few more of the more honeyed qualities. I also like the 43% ABV, as some of the whiskys in the GOT set are bottled at 40% presumably to maximize profit, so kudos to Dalwhinnie and Diageo for not caving in this one. Where this one looses points is the GOT tie in. This is a nice, sunshiney whisky and I don’t buy the House Stark tie in. The bit on the tube about Dalwhinnie being the highest distillery in Scotland and using only juice that was only distilled in winter is all well and good, but I was hoping for something a little more hearty for the Stark clan, like an Ardbeg or Highland Park (neither of which are owned by Diageo...). Still, a good dram if you can get it for a good deal like I did. Not sure if I’d pay retail for this one.

Smooth. Kind of watery. Wy says pear flavored. Easy drinking.

Winter came but it was pretty mild. Serviceable.
