LOT DESCRIPTION

Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Ghost & Rare Glenury Royal. Includes whiskies from the following distilleries: Glenkinchie, Glenlossie, Pittyvaich, Glen Elgin, Glenury Royal, Cameronbridge, Cambus and Inchgower. Bottled 2019. 700ml. 43.8%.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare releases are a series of limited editions that explore the rich flavours and distinctive distillery characters of selected whiskies from the unparalleled Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves. Each release offers a fleeting opportunity to savour the character of whiskies from "ghost" distilleries that have long since closed, but whose spirit still lives on in the dwindling stocks of their maturing whiskies.

This limited-edition series sees our rarest whiskies reawakened, and at the heart of this release is a rare single malt from the ghost GLENURY ROYAL distillery. Nestled in the wild and remote Ury district of the Highlands, the distillery was founded in 1825 by Captain Robert Barclay, a celebrated friend to Royalty and the first man to walk one thousand miles in one thousand hours. Inspired by the tenacity of its spirited founder, GLENURY ROYAL overcame a devastating distillery fire to rise like a phoenix from the flames and produce whiskies renowned for their dynamic character and refined elegance until it fell silent in 1985.

The 15-year-old John Walker took over a Kilmarnock grocery store in 1820, and built his business as a delicatessen and tea blender. John’s son Alexander switched to whisky wholesaling in the 1850s, rapidly expanding the business. By 1908 the famous slanting label, square-sided bottles and the iconic Striding Man logo were all in place and the legendary tagline ‘Born in 1820 - Still Going Strong’ soon propelled Johnnie Walker to international prominence.

John Walker & Co. merged into Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in the 1920s as the biggest Scotch whisky blender, and remains DCL successor Diageo’s most important whisky brand. Since the 1980s the classic Red Label and Black Label have been joined by various new Johnnie Walker whiskies, including Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Green Label and Gold Label and the prestige edition Johnnie Walker King George V.

All bottles are checked for authenticity by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
