The Official Whiskey of The Walking Dead is celebrating the show's final season with an exclusive bottle release, the Sexton Single Malt. The whiskey can be found in a black hexagonal bottle with a decaying silver label, and on it, fans will notice that the head of the walker has taken the place of the brand's trademark skeleton logo.
The post-apocalyptic whiskey packaging also includes other details that fans will appreciate, such as quotes from characters Daryl, Herschel, Rick and Michonne. The bottle is a celebration of life and it is only available in limited quantities. In terms of taste, the triple-distilled whiskey is said to offer a well-balanced taste of rich, dried fruits and toasted oak notes.
