Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Ghost & Rare Pittyvaich Edition

The fourth in this much talked about limited edition series, Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Pittyvaich, draws on rare casks from the legendary Speyside "ghost" distillery of Pittyvaich, a hidden treasure of the whisky world, which closed its doors in 1993 after only 18 years. Other "ghost" whiskies from Port Dundas and Carsebridge distilleries are balanced with exceptional rare single malts.

For years these irreplaceable casks of maturing whisky have been carefully watched over by Jim and his small team of expert whisky makers. Jim and his team have long been fascinated by the unique, inimitable character that "ghost" whiskies such as Pittyvaich bring to every drop of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

Alongside the distinctive autumnal character from Pittyvaich whiskies, Jim and the team hand-selected two other "ghost" whiskies from the distilleries of Port Dundas and Carsebridge. He combined these with exceptionally rare Scotch from a quartet of Speyside distilleries including Mannochmore, Auchroisk, Cragganmore and Strathmill as well as the highland whisky of Royal Lochnagar - crafting something exceptional.

Sweet, fruit notes of fresh apple gather with the autumnal flavours of Pittyvaich, beautufully balanced with the delicate subtle sweetness of honeycomb and soft wood from the "ghost" whiskies of Port Dundas amd Carsebridge. Other very rare whiskies bring aromas of dark fruit and berries before revealing gentle butterscotch, stewing orchard fruits and a dash of cinnamon.
