It doesn't look like you tried it yet. Let me know how it is, I'm a fan of a good whiskey. (But I don't expect much from a promo)
It's good. Like I said, I've never had Johnnie before so I don't know how to compare it. I don't drink much scotch, either. If I'm having whiskey it's usually a bourbon. This seems like a good whisky to sip on. It's not overbearing, has a sweetness. Like brown sugar or something, and vanilla. It smells good. It's not bad. I'm sure there's better but it's not the worst I've had by a long shot. Heres what it says on the back. A little bit about White Walkers and the flavor profile: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1861/a6f854ef-224f-41b1-a3f0-8754c7835bf1/IMG_20190601_232017.jpg (I don't know why Facepunch is uploading them sideways)
There's a lot of changes from the books in the show that aren't just for legal reasons like aging up characters, though. Essentially the entire second half of the show only utilizes elements of the story and just remixes them. And just for the record, I'd watch it and I'm sure lots of people would. The only season I think barely warrants a redo at all is the first one. I'm just trying to imagine the show being season one accurate the whole time.
in a perfect world ASoIaF would receive a classic Ralph Bakshi-style animated adaptation, like Lord of the Rings. there's some stuff that just couldn't be done justice in live action even had the show been more faithful. maybe by the guys who did the cutscenes in Banner Saga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDf3y4iCa7I
There are a few differences between the show and book but rebooting an entire 8 season tv show in the name of making it slightly more accurate to the source material is madness, no one would fund it.
For the record, when you freeze it it says “Winter is Here.”
Wait, what, where?? I saw the little thing about freezing it but didn't notice anything.
