Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen Special Edition Blended Scotch Whisky

Description

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Special Edition Ghost and Rare Port Ellen is the second in a series of special releases crafted using irreplaceable “ghost” whiskies and other incredibly rare whiskies from the Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves. At the heart of this limited edition lies the highly sought-after Islay single malt, Port Ellen: a ‘ghost’ distillery that shut its doors in 1983. In crafting Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen, Master Blender Dr. Jim Beveridge blended the exclusive ghost whiskies from Port Ellen, Caledonian and Carsebridge, with five incredibly rare malts from Mortlach, Dailuaine, Cragganmore, Blair Athol and Oban. The result is a whisky with layers of creamy vanilla sweetness and rolling waves of waxy citrus, rich malt and tropical fruit notes; all perfectly balanced by the distinctive maritime smokiness of the Port Ellen that lingers in the long and warming finish. This exclusive, velvety smooth blend can be enjoyed neat or with a dash of water. Johnnie Walker was recognized as one of the world's top-trending Scotch whiskies at the 2020 Drinks International awards. Includes one 87.6 proof 750 mL bottle of Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen Special Edition Blended Scotch Whisky. Please drink responsibly.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Take in the wonderfully mellow, rounded nose – replete with dry smokiness mixed with the sweetness of raisins.

Taste: Velvety combination of vanilla, honey and rose petals – before broadening out to include a zesty orange flavor with notes of hazelnut, sherry and dark chocolate.

Finish: Signing off with a rich and luxuriously long finish, which showcases our Johnnie Walker trademark smokiness in the most sophisticated way.
