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 release of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare brings together eight treasured whiskies from the four corners of Scotland, including irreplaceable whiskies from three "ghost" distilleries and five rare malts from existing distilleries. At the heart of this limited edition lies the much sought-after Islay single malt, PORT ELLEN - a "ghost" distillery that shut its doors in 1983. Sitting low on the water edge of Kilnaughton Bay, watched over by the four-sided Carraig Fhada lighthouse and the occasional ethereal glow of the Northern Lights, the PORT ELLEN distillery is now silent, but the memory of the ships setting sail with their precious cargo of smoky single malt whisky still lingers.

Good.
