The Walking Dead Whiskey Is Here to Help You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
Having seen an extremely successful run on AMC over the course of the past decade – the 10th season just debuted on October 6 – “The Walking Dead” remains a pop culture phenomenon. And now the perfect beverage is here to bring a boozy touch to surviving the zombie apocalypse – or at least watching it.
“The Walking Dead” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers a stout glass bottle and is part of a larger “Spirits of the Apocalypse” lineup from industry giant Diageo, which promises even more options to come.

“The Walking Dead comic book series changed the game and launched a post-apocalyptic genre that continues to attract a massive, enthusiastic fan base,” Diageo exec Dave McNulty said in a press release. “In partnering with Skybound Entertainment, we saw the opportunity for a new whiskey their adult fan base would covet... We share a mindset of creativity first and real collaboration to bring forth fun, new products that pop in culture.”
The same release also provided some short, simple recipes for cocktails containing the 94 proof (47% ABV) bourbon whiskey. “Maggie's Lemonade” calls for whiskey, peach tea — and, well, lemonade — garnished with a sprig of mint for flavor. Or, if you prefer an “Old Man Rick”, mix up whiskey, a dash of classic aromatic bitters, and half a teaspoon of simple syrup (just like grandma used to make).
Spirits of the Apocalypse
If you haven't heard of Diageo, you might be more familiar with its family of brands: Crown Royal, Smirnoff, Captain Morgan, Tanqueray, and Guinness all belong to this industry leader. Given that Diageo teamed up with Skybound Entertainment in order to launch this latest zombie-themed alcoholic beverage, CEO of Skybound, David Alpert, also weighed in.
“It's been a joy to work on ‘The Walking Dead’ in so many different ways – from comics, TV, video games, and more. But working on a bourbon? That's a dream come true...” said Alpert. “Our partnership with Diageo arose out of a shared passion for creativity and a love of our fans. We hope our fans enjoy this as much as we do.”
Aside from the bourbon whiskey bearing the TWD brand, the horror-drama series also previously inspired a lineup of wines. A dark cabernet sauvignon, satisfying red blend, creamy chardonnay, and bright sauvignon blanc were all offered last year.
No matter what post-apocalyptic scenario one might face, having a few bottles of booze around no doubt makes things a whole lot more bearable.
