The Walking Dead official whiskey: Sexton new limited edition bottle
Today, AMC and The Sexton Single Malt announced their latest collaboration — an exclusive, co-branded bottle to commemorate the final season of The Walking Dead and, as the announcement says, “inspire its fans to enjoy life.” To introduce the new release, The Sexton has teamed up with fan-favorite The Walking Dead cast member Ross Marquand, who plays a good-natured character known for his optimism in even the darkest of times. Try to ignore the fact that he’s also the Red Skull, okay? That’s not the skeleton on the Sexton label, we promise.
The upcoming release features The Walking Dead-themed imagery across The Sexton’s distinctive, black hexagonal bottle. Featuring a decaying silver label and a walker’s head in the place of the brand’s trademark skeleton logo, the packaging melds the post-apocalyptic zombie drama with the bottle’s most distinctive qualities.
Quotes from cast members Daryl, Herschel, Rick, and Michonne adorn the bottle, describing the harsh realities of existence experienced by characters throughout the series, an ironic reminder of The Sexton’s mantra: celebrate life.
Marquand’s character Aaron has starred in the show since 2015. An Irish Whiskey enthusiast off-camera, Ross will serve as a brand ambassador for the Official Whiskey of The Walking Dead and help celebrate the new, limited-edition bottle with fans of the show.
ORIGINS
The Sexton is a new and unexpected modern-day Irish Single Malt: rich in hue, approachable in taste and memorable in character. Matured in former Oloroso Sherry casks to achieve a perfect balance between rich, dried fruits and memorable toasted oak notes. The Sexton offers a smooth finish to leave you wanting for more.
The Sexton is crafted using 100% Irish malted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills resulting in smooth, light and fruit-forward spirit.
Our spirit is matured in hand-selected barrels from European oak, toasted from the inside to a medium-high char and seasoned with Oloroso Sherry.
A collaboration that will stop you dead in your tracks.
