Game of Thrones Limited Edition

(alunperin julkaistu toisessa blogissani 10.10.2019)

Pari vuotta sitten julkaistiin sarja skottiviskejä, joiden teemana oli TV-sarja Game of Thrones. Itse en ole tuota sarjaa seurannut, joten ei siitä sen enempää, mutta tässä muutama arvio koskien itse viskejä. 

Here’s my 50 cents about Game of Thrones whiskies. First of all, I’m not a fan of the series (at least not yet because I haven’t seen it) but this GoT whisky series looks anyway bloody marvellous even if you aren’t a fan. Here are my ratings from best to worst:
