About this deal

The vast majority of those casks are used for blended whiskies, with Johnnie Walker being the most globally distributed brand. Their Diageo portfolio sibling, Bell’s, is the biggest selling brand in the UK. This unparalleled access to these enormous reserves of whisky has given the Johnnie Walker brand the ability to reach the heights of their success and a great reputation for their premium blends. Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. Nose: Honeycomb and propolis at a medium approach. Green apple is very apparent with a closer inhale. Some peach and pear notes make a presence at a second inspection. Similar to standing in an orchard in early fall.

This Walker blend is very well-integrated. Everything comes together holistically in a way that would please just about anyone who enjoys good Scotch whisky. Smoke is a mere whisper–far less pronounced than sherry notes, or wood esters. The Speyside distillery of Pittyvaich, which opened in 1974, closed its doors in 1993 after only 18 years in operation making its former whiskies a rarity. Regardless of whether the Service offers the functionality to contribute, you are solely responsible and liable for any content and information that you create, upload, post, publish, link to, duplicate, transmit, record, display or otherwise make available on the Service or to other Members, such as chat messages, text messages, videos, audio, audio recordings, music, pictures, photographs, text and any other information or materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (“Contributions”). Its incredible character inspired us to create something truly extraordinary that pays proper tribute to the whisky makers of this storied Glasgow distillery.”Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Perhaps Ghost and Rare is the closest you will ever come to drinking a “haunted” whisky. Can it be said, however, that a bottle of rare elixirs, taken from three “silent” distilleries, is worth a price tag of three to four hundred dollars? Good question. It’s worth reminding you that there are five other spirits in the blend, as well. Johnnie Walker has also introduced several limited edition and special expressions such as the Johnnie Walker Green Label, Gold Label Reserve, and Platinum Label. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. The nose here is gentle, almost mild, indicative of the old grain whiskey in the blend. While well-aged Port Dundas can have a boldly sweet and dried floral character, here the cereal is more on point, with elements of white flowers and sesame playing secondary roles. Plenty of sweetness endures on the palate; it’s safe to say this is the most exuberantly sweet Blue Label release I’ve ever tried. That’s not a slight but rather a nod to the staying power of old grain whisky, here showcasing a peach note, layered with notes of ripe banana and peppery spice later in the game. I like the finish here the best, which is much sharper than the rather doughy introduction would suggest, giving those blossom and sweet fruit notes something to hang their hats on. Touches of apricot spice things up even further, making this the rare Scotch that starts off quietly and then builds to a rousing, powerful finish.

Port Dundas was, in its day, one of the finest Grain Whisky distilleries in the world and the rare expressions that we have chosen from our reserves are some of the most distinctive it has ever produced. Their slow maturation allows the sweet and delicate Grain character to blossom,” Emma says. “These rare whiskies highlight the distillery character of Port Dundas, perfectly showcasing the wonderful depth of flavor that this Grain Whisky brings to Johnnie Walker Blue Label. It’s incredible character inspired us to create something truly extraordinary that pays proper tribute to the whisky makers of this storied Glasgow distillery.” Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare: This limited edition expression features rare whiskies from closed distilleries, which gives it a unique and exclusive flavor profile.The Blue Label is considered as a luxury item, due to its exclusivity, high price and the quality of the blend. It’s unique blend of rare and aged malts and grains make it a sought after by whiskey enthusiasts.
