Cardhu Gold Reserve – House Targaryen | Game of Thrones Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky
"Fire and Blood." A whisky worthy of the Mother of Dragons, Cardhu Gold Reserve – House Targaryen is a fiery yet elegant Speyside single malt that pays tribute to one of Westeros’ most powerful houses. Released as part of the official Game of Thrones Single Malt Collection, this limited edition Scotch celebrates the fierce determination and resilience of House Targaryen, led by the legendary Daenerys Stormborn.
Crafted by the renowned Cardhu Distillery, a trailblazer in Scotland’s Speyside region, this whisky reflects a legacy of strong female leadership — both in House Targaryen and the distillery’s own history, once led by Helen Cumming and her daughter-in-law. Cardhu Gold Reserve offers a balanced, smooth character with notes of baked apple, honeycomb, warm spices, and subtle oak.
