Blended
Scotland
It's not an apparition – behold the fifth edition of Johnnie Walker's Blue Label Ghost & Rare series! This impressive expression is the first of the series to be overseen by master blender Emma Walker since taking on the role in 2022, after over ten years with the company. The blend includes parcels of grain whisky from Glasgow's Port Dundas distillery (which shut down its stills back in 2010), matured in second-fill and heavily charred first-fill American oak casks. Whiskies from two other "ghost" distilleries, Cambus and Brora also feature, alongside a host of five exceptionally rare single malts selected from the extensive Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves.
Stewed apple, dusted with cinnamon and rich vanilla cream. Fresh apricot notes join, with delicate oak spice in tow.
Whispers of elegant smoke and woody vanilla lead, while creamy grain and honeyed cereal balance baking spice warmth.
Poached orchard fruits follow, alongside darker notes of fruit crumble, with a pinch of ginger.
