Available to pre-order in the US, the new blended Scotch whiskies will launch in the US this August and globally in October.<\/p>\n

The bottle design for A Song of Ice features an image of a direwolf, while A Song of Fire depicts a dragon.<\/p>\n

A Diageo spokesperson said: \u201cWe are excited to announce that Johnnie Walker and HBO will be releasing two new Scotch whisky blends in honour of the enduring legacy of Game of Thrones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Details of the new whiskies \u201cwill be released in the coming months\u201d and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n

The expressions are named after the series of fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, which was adapted by network HBO into the popular television series Game of Thrones in 2011.<\/p>\n

The new bottlings were released as part of Diageo\u2019s partnership with HBO, which began with the launch of a blended Scotch whisky in October 2018, called White Walker by Johnnie Walker.<\/p>\n

It was followed by the launch of a range of single malt Scotch whiskies earlier this year, in celebration of the eighth and final series of Game of Thrones<\/a>. The collection features eight whiskies, each matching one of the show\u2019s Houses of Westeros, as well as the Night\u2019s Watch.<\/p>\n

The much-anticipated series finale aired on 19 May, with a planned prequel series in the works under the working title of Bloodmoon.<\/p>\n
