✨ Technical Specifications
The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Ellen is a masterfully crafted blended Scotch whisky that pays homage to Scotland's lost distilling heritage. At its heart is the highly coveted single malt from Port Ellen, a legendary 'ghost' distillery on the shores of Islay that fell silent in 1983. This expression meticulously balances the highly sought-after, elegant peat smoke and maritime character of Port Ellen with exceptionally rare whiskies from other closed distilleries, including Carsebridge and Caledonian, alongside select active distilleries. The result is a complex tapestry of rich vanilla, sweet citrus, and delicate, warming smoke, representing a liquid time capsule of Scottish distilling history.
