Playstation inspires Moth & Wolf whisky

Chivas Brothers has collaborated on a limited edition blended Scotch whisky inspired by a Playstation 4 video game.

Moth & Wolf, as the whisky is called, was created in partnership with video game company Naughty Dog, and took inspiration from The Last of Us Part II Playstation 4 video game. It is blend of liquid that was filled into barrels in 2013, before being bottled in 2022. The whisky sits at 40% ABV. Kevin Balmforth, blending manager at Chivas Brothers, said: “Die-hard fans can now experience The Last of Us Part II in a new unique way with a dram of this exciting whisky. “I can’t wait for blended whisky fans to taste what we’ve been working on, and to welcome more drinkers into the wonderful world of whisky.” The release is part of Chivas Brothers’ The Digital Spirits Project, which aims to open up Scotch whisky to a new generation of whisky enthusiasts via film, TV and gaming. In other game-related news today, retro arcade bar NQ64 secured £2.5 million (US$2.96m) worth of investment from Thin Cats to aid its expansion across the UK. Chivas Brothers is the Scotch whisky arm of French drinks group Pernod Ricard. Earlier this year, Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail released seven rare Secret Speyside single cask editions.
