Luckily, There Is Bourbon
The back label sets the scene: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV — but luckily, there are spirits. Following Diageo's Game of Thrones single malts and Johnnie Walker White Walker, this is the first TV tie-in bourbon of its kind, made with Skybound — the company behind The Walking Dead comic. It is a well-balanced, genuinely drinkable Kentucky straight bourbon first, and a collector's piece second.
Tasting Notes
A soft caramel nose with orchard fruit, vanilla, and rye spice leads into a spicy palate of cinnamon, clove, and black pepper over vanilla, honey, and a hint of cocoa. The finish is smooth and warming, with a light nuttiness, lingering sweetness, and a short, dry touch of oak.
How to Enjoy
Enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in bourbon cocktails — the house suggests Maggie's "Lemonade" (bourbon, lemonade, peach tea, mint, grilled peaches) and the Old Man Rick (bourbon, bitters, simple syrup, lemon and orange twist on the rocks). Share with Walkers and those who love them.
