Unlike standard Blue Label, each Ghost and Rare release is a completely distinct blend centered on irreplaceable stocks from a named closed distillery. Here, Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker hand-selected the most distinctive aged expressions from Port Dundas in the Johnnie Walker reserves, matured in both second fill and first fill heavily charred American oak casks for additional depth and layering. These are joined by ghost whiskies from two other long-closed distilleries — Cambus and Brora — plus five further rare whiskies from Cameronbridge, Glenkinchie, Clynelish, Dailuaine, and Auchroisk. The result is a blend that will never be reproduced. Bottled at 43.8% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJohn Walker \u0026amp; Sons, Scotland (Diageo) — Est. 1820\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Blender\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDr. Emma Walker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGhost and Rare — 5th release in the series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHero Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePort Dundas — Glasgow grain distillery, Est. 1811, closed 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGhost Distilleries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePort Dundas + Cambus + Brora — all permanently closed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRare Distilleries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCameronbridge, Glenkinchie, Clynelish, Dailuaine, Auchroisk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask Types\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecond fill American oak + first fill heavily charred American oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.6 Proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.8%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber gold — deep and luminous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e White chocolate, chalky vanilla sponge cake, and warm apple pastries lead — the Port Dundas grain character is immediately present and distinctive.
