Game of Thrones is gone, but is anyone who followed the show for years really over it yet? If not, then Johnnie Walker has you covered with a new pair of GoT whiskies: A Song of Ice Blended Scotch Whisky and (of course) A Song of Fire.

This branded hooch comes in a pair of beautifully-designed Thrones-themed bottles that reflect the show’s dramatic intensity. 

A Song of Ice bears a snowy direwolf on the bottle and the blend is made up of single malts from northern Scotland distilleries. A Song of Fire isn’t some gimmicky red-hot Fireball knockoff like the dramatic bottle might suggest. It’s a smoky blend out of Scotland’s Caol Ila and the art is a fierce-looking dragon worthy of guarding Queen Daenerys herself. If she were still with us, that is. 

Ice and Fire are best enjoyed in different ways. With a clean, bright taste, A Song of Ice is perfect on the rocks. A Song of Fire has spicy notes and probably best taken with just a splash of water or neat. 

A Song of Ice and A Song of Fire are plenty affordable at $43 each, or $86 when ordered together. 

Put them together with a bottle of White Walker as seen in the Insta photo above, and you’ve got one hell of a good Labor Day weekend Thrones re-watch party. Those controversial final episodes might not seem so bad after all.

Much like Land Rover’s bulked-up Range Rover Sentinel, BMW has fortified its luxurious X5 crossover to keep at-risk VIPs safe from all manner of mayhem, including gunfire, grenades and bombs.

At the core of the BMW X5 Protection VR6 is the armored cabin. Molded components constructed from high-strength steel blend seamlessly into the doors, side frame, roof and front wall. An aluminum splinter shield protects the undercarriage, and each 33 mm-thick glass panel is reinforced with an internal polycarbonate layer. 

A special sheathing ensures that the tank closes automatically following an attack in order to prevent fuel spillage, and run-flat tires with reinforced sidewalls allow the driver to make a getaway even after taking damage. 

How much damage, you ask? The security-glazed body is rated to protect against rounds as large as 7.62 × 39mm, a caliber commonly found in the AK-47 assault rifle and certain AR-15-style platforms. 

The cockpit can withstand lateral blasts of 15 kg of TNT at a distance of just over 13 feet, and the floor’s armor plating will protect against DM51 frag grenades. Even after an explosion, all windows remain firmly in position, preventing the formation of gaps between the armor and the body.  

BMW also offers further fortifications as options. Enhanced underbody reinforcements made of fiber composite will hold up against significantly larger HG85 frag grenade blasts, and an armored roof reinforced with security steel will protect against drones or small aircraft equipped with up to 200 grams of C4. 

Other available upgrades include LED front flashers in the radiator grille, rear flashers, roof-mounted light beacons, a roof antenna with additional receiver for digital radio, and additional armor-plating for the vehicle batteries.

Because all components were developed specifically for this model, the armored X5 is deceptively tough and “virtually indistinguishable” from the regular X5.

As Car and Driver notes, the suspension and brakes have been calibrated to compensate for the increased weight, so the 4.4-liter, 530-horsepower V8 can still push the armored X5 to 60 mph in an impressively brisk 5.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 120 mph. 

BMW didn’t reveal a price for the X5 Protection VR6, but larger vehicles with after-market armoring like this Mercedes-Benz AMG 63 cost up to $1.2 million, so your guess is as good as ours.  

The first trailer for Netflix’s The King is here, and it promises a sword-swinging drama full of palace intrigue, public beheadings, at least one massive armored battle scene.

Star Timothée Chalamet, who shows off an impressive bowl cut, portrays King Henry V in the new clip that at times evokes vintage Game of Thrones.

Check out the Netflix official description here:

Hal (Timothée Chalamet), wayward prince and reluctant heir to the English throne, has turned his back on royal life and is living among the people. But when his tyrannical father dies, Hal is crowned King Henry V and is forced to embrace the life he had previously tried to escape.

Now the young king must navigate the palace politics, chaos and war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life – including his relationship with his closest friend and mentor, the aging alcoholic knight, John Falstaff (Joel Edgerton).

Directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Edgerton, The King co-stars Sean Harris, Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, and Lily-Rose Depp, Chalamet’s real-life girlfriend.

The movie is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 2. Its Netflix release date has yet to be announced, but expect it sometime this fall. Check out the trailer above.
