JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL PORT DUNDAS 70CL

JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL PORT DUNDAS 70CL : The fifth release of Johnnie Walker’s limited-edition Ghost and Rare series celebrates Glasgow’s famous Port Dundas grain distillery, that closed its doors and sired down its stills in 2010. Known for its distinctive sweet, fragrant character, Port Dundas was not only a blending powerhouse but also one of the world’s most-famous grain whisky distillery, and Johnnie Walker master blender Dr Emma Walker has hand-picked whiskies that will complement and show off this ghost distillery’s character. The creamy, woody notes of Port Dundas have been complemented by softly smoky, vanilla-forward whisky from ghost distillery Cambus, original stocks from Brora and fruity whiskies from five iconic distilleries.

Description

JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL PORT DUNDAS 70CL : It’s not an apparition – behold the fifth edition of Johnnie Walker’s Blue Label Ghost & Rare series! This impressive expression is the first of the series to be overseen by master blender Emma Walker since taking on the role in 2022, after over ten years with the company. The blend includes parcels of grain whisky from Glasgow’s Port Dundas distillery (which shut down its stills back in 2010), matured in second-fill and heavily charred first-fill American oak casks. Whiskies from two other “”ghost”” distilleries, Cambus and Brora also feature, alongside a host of five exceptionally rare single malts selected from the extensive Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves.
Tasting Notes:
Nose Stewed apple, dusted with cinnamon and rich vanilla cream. Fresh apricot notes join, with delicate oak spice in tow.
Palate Whispers of elegant smoke and woody vanilla lead, while creamy grain and honeyed cereal balance baking spice warmth.
Finish Poached orchard fruits follow, alongside darker notes of fruit crumble, with a pinch of ginger.
