Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Ellen, Bourbon & Sherry Cask, Batch No. BL0803, 2018, 43.8%

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Ellen is the second limited edition release in the Ghost & Rare series, crafted by Master Blender Jim Beveridge. This blended Scotch whisky features highly sought-after Islay single malt from the 'ghost' distillery Port Ellen, which closed in 1983. It also includes whiskies from other closed grain distilleries like Caledonian and Carsebridge, along with rare malts from Mortlach, Dailuaine, Cragganmore, Blair Athol, and Oban. The blend delivers layers of creamy vanilla sweetness, waxy citrus, rich malt, and tropical fruit notes, all balanced by the distinctive maritime smokiness of Port Ellen.
