Distillery Note:

Sweet, fruit notes of fresh apple gather with the distinct autumnal flavours of Pittyvaich, beautifully balanced with the delicate subtle sweetness of honeycomb and soft wood from the “ghost” whiskies of Port Dundas and Carsebridge. Other very rare whiskies from a quartet of Speyside distilleries including Mannochmore, Auchroisk, Cragganmore and Strathmill alongside the Highland whisky of Royal Lochnagar, bring aromas of dark fruit and berries before revealing gentle butterscotch, stewing orchard fruits and a dash of cinnamon, all combining to create an exploration of the rarely seen whisky.

Ghost and Rare releases are a series of limited editions that explore the rich flavours and distinctive distillery characters of selected whiskies from the Johnnie Walker Blue Label reserves.

Each release offers a fleeting opportunity to savour the depth of character of whiskies from “ghost” distilleries that have long since been closed, but whose spirit still lives on in the dwindling stocks of their maturing whiskies.

At the heart of this release is an exceptional single malt from the “ghost” distillery of PITTYVAICH, closed in 1993 after only 18 years of life.
