Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Ellen 1L (Giftbox)

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Ellen is one of the most sought-after releases in the prestigious Ghost & Rare series, showcasing the legendary character of the iconic Port Ellen Distillery. Once considered a "ghost distillery" following its closure in 1983, Port Ellen became one of the most revered names in Scotch whisky, celebrated for its rarity and distinctive maritime elegance.

This exceptional limited-edition blend is crafted around irreplaceable stocks of Port Ellen whisky, complemented by rare whiskies from other carefully selected distilleries including Mortlach, Cragganmore, Blair Athol, Oban, and the now-closed Caledonian grain distillery. The result is a remarkably layered and complex expression that highlights the smoky sophistication and subtle coastal character for which Port Ellen is famous.

Part of the highly collectible Ghost & Rare collection, this release represents a rare opportunity to experience the influence of one of Scotland's most legendary distilleries within the luxurious style of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
