The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Dundas is a remarkable special edition in the Ghost & Rare series, meticulously crafted under the watchful eye of master blender Emma Walker. This whisky prominently features grain whisky from the historic Port Dundas distillery in Glasgow, a site that was shuttered in 2010 but was celebrated for its distinctive sweet and fragrant character. Maturation for this blend takes place in both second-fill and heavily charred first-fill American oak casks, ensuring a complex flavor profile. This expression not only celebrates Port Dundas but also incorporates whiskies from two other "ghost" distilleries—Cambus and Brora. These rare components are harmoniously blended with five exceptionally rare single malts carefully selected from the high-quality Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves, including Auchroisk, Cameronbridge, Clynelish, Daluaine, and Glenkinchie. As the fifth release in the Ghost & Rare series, this limited edition comes with individually numbered bottles, adding to its exclusivity. It brings together eight of the rarest whiskies from Johnnie Walker's extensive reserves. The creamy, woody notes of Port Dundas are perfectly complemented by the softly smoky, vanilla-forward whisky from Cambus and the precious stocks from Brora. Additionally, fruity whiskies from five iconic distilleries contribute to its layered complexity. The aromas reveal hints of creamy wood, vanilla, and soft smoke, while the flavors are a delightful blend of spiced apples, peaches, and red berries. This whisky stands as a tribute to the esteemed Port Dundas grain distillery, embodying the extraordinary richness that defines the Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
