Johnnie Walker Blue Label – Ghost & Rare – Port Ellen
After the Johnnie Walker Ghost & Rare – Brora there is now the announcement of a version based around Port Ellen whisky.
It also includes grain whisky from two lost distilleries: Carsebridge (closed in 1983) and Caledonian (closed in 1988), and malt from Mortlach, Daluaine, Oban, Cragganmore and Blair Athol.
It is bottled at 43.8% and available soon for around € 300.
