Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen is a limited edition release, the second in a series of special blends crafted using irreplaceable "ghost" whiskies and other incredibly rare whiskies from the Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves. This release focuses on both lost and active distilleries, built around malt from the legendary Port Ellen distillery, a famed Islay "Ghost" distillery that shut its doors in 1983. This blended malt combines the flavors and distinctive distillery characters of selected whiskies from the unparalleled Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves. The heart of this limited edition is the much sought-after Islay single malt, Port Ellen, distilled at least 35 years ago. Whiskies from these ghost distilleries are increasingly rare, making this release a unique opportunity to explore the extraordinary richness found in Johnnie Walker's pinnacle whisky. In addition to Port Ellen, this release includes grain whiskies from the now-closed Carsebridge and Caledonian distilleries, as well as rare malts from Mortlach, Dailuaine, Cragganmore, Blair Athol, and Oban. Bottled at 43.8% ABV and released in 2018, this whisky is presented in a numbered bottle (EU5821) and comes in an elegant presentation box. The Port Ellen distillery, once situated low on the water edge of Kilnaughton Bay and watched over by the Carraig Fhada lighthouse, is now silent, but the legacy of its smoky single malt whisky endures.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen offers a luxurious and harmonious experience. The silky mouthfeel and rich layers of chocolate and vanilla blend seamlessly with coastal and dark fruit notes, making it an elegant and memorable dram.
I love a good luxurious dram, and the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen certainly delivers. The blend achieves a beautiful harmony, with a silky and creamy mouthfeel that is truly delicious. While it may lack some of the pronounced character of single malts, it more than makes up for it in elegance and balance. This is a testament to Diageo's deep portfolio and mastery in creating exceptional blends.
