✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Glenury Royal is a masterfully crafted blended Scotch whisky that pays homage to the 'ghost' distilleries of Scotland—legendary sites that have long since closed their doors. At the heart of this rare blend is the highly coveted single malt from Glenury Royal, a Highland distillery founded in 1825 by the colorful Captain Robert Barclay, who famously walked 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours. Glenury Royal was one of only three Scottish distilleries to ever receive a Royal warrant. This exceptional release marries the rich, orchard-fruit character of Glenury Royal with other rare whiskies from shuttered distilleries like Cambus and Pittyvaich, alongside highly unusual malts from active distilleries. The result is a magnificent spirit boasting layers of sweet apple, delicate apricot, creamy toffee, and a gentle, warming finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Johnnie Walker blev grundlagt i 1820 af John Walker som en købmandsforretning i Kilmarnock, hvor han udblendede uensartede single malts til harmonisk whisky. I dag har huset under Diageos ejerskab udviklet sig til det absolutte pejlemærke for blended skotsk whisky. Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker råder i dag over enorme modningslagre med mere end ti millioner fade fra over tredive velansete destillerier i Highland, Speyside, Lowland og Islay – herunder uerstattelige 'ghost'-partier fra for længst lukkede ikoner som Port Ellen og Brora. Med udgangspunkt i Diageos bæredygtige 'Grain-to-Glass'-filosofi for korndyrkning og destillering forvandler blenderne Skotlands mangeartede terroir til komplekse, lagdelte kompositioner, der er kendetegnet ved husets distinkte røg, moden frugtplantage, maritim salt og blød vaniljesødme. Signatur-aftapninger som den klassiske Black Label, Green Label blended malt og den eksklusive Blue Label udgør højdepunktet inden for skotsk blendingkunst i stor skala, hvor historisk håndværk forenes med nutidig videnskabelig præcision.
