Another one of Johnnie Walker's expressions of HBO hit tv series "Game of Thrones". This time its "Song of Ice", a blended whisky that uses Clynelish as the base for the flavor, which should feel "cold" or something like that. Most of this Johnnie Walker GOT whiskies weren't very good, and the White Walker one was horrible, so lets se what we got here.
Bottled at 40.2%abv, golden color.
On the nose, it is very fruity. Grapefruit, super fresh apples, Pear and Vanilla. Letting it breath for a long time reveals a dim toffee note. There is a "ghostly" spiciness; Red apples with caramel. Not bad.
On the palate, it follows the same rythm of the nose: Apples, Pears and Pepper. Very fruity, Pear peel. A second sip gave me grapefruit and some other citrus flavors.
Aftertaste is ok, but a little straightforward Burnt dry grass, Ginger and Dim smokiness.
After 3 sips, the grain whisky appeared with its maize and corn notes.
Overall this is not that bad. I expected something worse. Fails to feel cold, or be complex; it feels like something everybody would enjoy. The other one, called "Song of Fire" is way more dissapointing, and i might actually finish this bottle someday, maybe sharing it a lot. My score for it is 76 over 100.
