Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare 1st Edition Brora
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare 1st Edition / Brora
A limited release of Johnnie Walker’s most premium brand. The Ghost and Rare blends will focus on Scotland’s lost and sorely missed distilleries, with this first release built around malt from the legendary Brora. Other “Ghosts” rearing their welcome heads from the annals of whisky history is malt from lost Speyside distillery Pittyvaich, and Cambus grain, which closed in 2002 and 1993 respectively.
Given that Brora shut it’s doors in 1983, were talking about whisky that was distilled at least 34 years ago!
Speaking of the Ghost and Rare series, master blender Jim Beveridge had the following to say:
“Whiskies from these ghost distilleries are becoming increasingly rare. From our library of irreplaceable casks that we keep exclusively for Johnnie Walker Blue Label, I’ve chosen a few uniquely full-bodied expressions of these precious malts and grains to let people explore, in a new way, the extraordinary richness found in our pinnacle whisky.”

JOHN WALKER 28 YEAR BICENTENARY 75CL
A complex, rich whisky with layers of flavour in which an array of fruit aromas come together in harmony, balanced with warming spices and a soft, rolling smoke redolent of the rich array of exotic goods on offer. Dried fruit such as sultanas and figs are sweetened by hints of candied ginger, before berries, brown sugar and aromatic spices fill up the senses.
