2019 ends in less than two weeks and we have extremely limited time to make the most of this year. Such limited time calls for splurging on the best of limited edition liquors and liqueurs that you can drink on December 31 to bid a warm (and drunk) goodbye to your year. Here are 5 of these limited editions that are still available in the market and you can buy
1. White Walker Whisky by Johnnie Walker
What the end of Game of Thrones could not do, White Walker’s will. Introduced in October, the limited edition whisky is a part of The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection which was introduced early in the year. Inspired by the cold White Walkers on the popular disappointing-in-the-end TV series Game of Thrones, the whisky is best enjoyed when served chilled from the refrigerator. You can purchase a bottle of the liquor at Delhi Duty Free.
2. Disaronno Wears Diesel Liqueur
Disaronno collaborated with the renowned apparel brand Diesel to introduce a new look of the Italian liqueur this year. The project supported a respectable foundation that aims at curbing social inequality in the world – Only The Brave Foundation. The limited edition liqueur introduced a cocktail by the same name that you should definitely be drinking on New Year’s Eve. That’s one way to end the year on a great note and drink!
3. Concept No. 1 Whisky by The Macallan
Concept No. 1 is inspired by surreal art. Introduced as a global travel retail exclusive, you could find Concept No. 1 only in Dubai Duty Free stores until the end of 2018. Today, you can find a bottle in some of the Indian duty free stores like Hyderabad DF. The limited edition whisky has been matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks first and then in ex-bourbon casks to offer a taste of surreal imagination.
4. Suntory Old Whisky Limited Edition 2019
The popular Japanese Suntory Old Whisky was first released in the mid 90s and made a name for itself in the spirit industry. In the 1980s, single malts gained popularity and Suntory Old took a backseat. To celebrate the Year of the Pig 2019, the liquor was re-released. The whisky is medium-bodied, has a caramel-like flavour and an earthy aroma. You can purchase a bottle of the limited edition at Japanese alcohol outlets.
5. Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice
The limited edition small-batch gin Midsummer Solstice is described as a ‘poetic expression of temporality’ by Hendricks’s Gin. The liquor has been inspired by floral blossoms during the summer solstice, and works as a perfect base spirit for summer cocktails like Mimosa and Salty Dog. The gin is infused with hand-selected floral essences; the aroma reminds one of a summer day. The gin is available at alcohol stores in the US.
I will be getting myself a nice cold bottle of the White Walker Whisky. From the ones mentioned above, which one would you want to sit down with on the eve of Jan 31? Tell us in the comments below.
