The GoT Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection features eight expressions from the Diageo range 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".

From ‘The Salt Throne,’ which puts a salty twist on a classic whisky sour as a nod to the sea lords– to ‘The Kings of Winer,’ which brings some warmth to House Stark with Dalwhinnie’s classic heather honey sweetness that is perfectly complimented by the luxurious spice and warmth of dark hot chocolate, each cocktail is designed to be easy to make and to appeal to fans of all of the houses.
