Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen
A second entry in Johnnie Walker’s Ghost & Rare series, focusing on the distillery character and spirit from closed Port Ellen on Islay. Not well known during its lifetime, since its closure in 1983, Port Ellen has risen in stature to become one of the world’s most sought-after single malts.
Description
The second release from Johnnie Walker’s Ghost & Rare series features whisky from one of the most legendary closed distilleries – Port Ellen. Alongside the revered Islay whisky in the blend are whiskies from two closed grain distilleries (Carsebridge and Caledonian), as well as malts from Mortlach, Oban, Blair Athol, Cragganmore and Dailuaine.
Tasting Note
Nose: Salted butter, marmalade on toast, elegant peat smoke and oat cakes.
Palate: Perfumed malt and orange blossom, balanced by salty sea air and coal dust. Subtle clove brings heat.
Finish: Continued peat smoke sticks around for a good long while of the finish.
