Finnish Whiskymaker Kyrö Collaborates With TV Series Game Of Thrones For Two Rye Whiskies: The Whisky Of Fire & Whisky Of Blood

Finland’s Kyrö Distillery Company has teamed up with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to make a limited-edition rye whisky collection inspired by the hit TV series Game of Thrones.

15 years after the series first premiered, the two whiskies 'Whisky of Fire' and 'Whisky of Blood' is inspired by the series' fictional House Targaryen and its motto ‘fire and blood’.

The launch of the two whiskies also comes at a time where the HBO Original series based on the house, House of the Dragon will be launching its third season.

Whisky of Fire is made from 100% smoked malted rye which are then aged in ex-Bourbon barrels and finished in rum casks.

Bottled at 46.6% ABV, it is said to offer aromas of light smoke, toasted rye, and spiced apple jam. The palate promises complex smoke, mineral notes, sweet grains, blackberry, and a hint of menthol.

On the other hand, Whisky of Blood is described as being lighter with a more delicate character. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is made from 100% malted rye aged in ex-Bourbon and French oak casks.

The nose boasts notes of cereals, apple, and apricot, layered with tonka bean, chestnut, and beeswax. On the palate, it is said to have sweet fruity notes along with rye spice, chestnut, crème brûlée, and toasted cereals.

Both expressions feature collectable packaging featuring maps and symbolic motifs from the series.

Kyrö Whisky of Fire and Whisky of Blood will be available globally in limited quantities in select markets from June, with an MSRP of €70-€85 per 700ml bottle.
