IMAGES: NAUGHTY DOG AND THE DIGITAL SPIRITS PROJECT
Serious gamers who love a stiff drink, listen up. Moth & Wolf released a limited-edition, blended Scotch inspired by The Last of Us Part II. (Yes, the same acclaimed PlayStation®4 video game that’s been adapted into the new HBO TV series starring Pedro Pascal that was aired on January 15.)
It’s created by Naughty Dog, the game’s producers, and The Digital Spirits Project, the innovation arm of whisky makers Chivas Brothers.
You’ll get a taste of the flavors that represent the game’s U.S. locations – creamy vanilla for the safe haven of Jackson Wyoming, and hints and smoke and malt for the hardened landscape of Seattle, Washington.
To Chivas Brothers’ Blending Manager, Kevin Balmforth, what makes this whisky so spectacular is the contrasting inspiration of the game’s setting and atmosphere. It “reflects the storyline’s complexity from the ground up.”
