Johnnie Walker recently announced the release of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen. The second in a series of limited editions crafted using ‘ghost’ whiskies and other rare whiskies from the Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves used to create the award-winning* Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
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.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen follows the release of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Brora last year. Each edition in the series offers an opportunity to savour the character of whiskies from distilleries whose spirit lives on in their dwindling stocks.
Even though the Port Ellen distillery is now silent, Jim is excited to recapture the memory of smoky Island single malts that was once carried on ships sailing from this famous distillery by balancing its unique character with other rare whiskies.
