For scotch drinkers, the taste of this blend sounds quite pleasing. According to DIAGEO, the special blends features “notes of caramelized sugar and vanilla, fresh red berries with a touch of orchard fruit.” While scotch always has peaty undertones, this flavor combination sounds more approachable for the occasional scotch drinker.
According to the brand, mixologist Gabe Orta has created several cocktails featuring the White Walker. Each of these cocktails show the versatility of the scotch. While many scotch drinkers enjoy their liquor neat, these cocktails showcase that a scotch can be mixed in a sour, old fashioned or even with a spritz of berry soda.

Also, by suggesting scotch cocktails, this method can introduce the non-scotch drinker to liquor. With the combination of flavors, the scotch is still prevalent, but not overpowering. Plus, these cocktails help to make the limited edition scotch used, not just a shelf decoration.
White Walker by Johnnie Walker retails for $36. The prices for the Game of Thrones collection varies depending on the exact bottle/blend. The prices range from $29.99 to $64.99.
