Notes
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.

The smoke is light on the nose, giving the vanilla and white grape notes room to shine (it is almost like a smokey Burgundy). A slightly medicinal smoke really suits the waxy, salty palate – a banging, balanced dram.

The nose kicks off like a walk through a summer garden, finished off with round of buttered granary toast with honey. The palate is big, the floral notes giving way to pears in syrup, some lightly charred oak and a touch of salt.

Delicate honey with dried flowers on the nose, all tied up with a very pleasant, nostalic wave of malt extract. A sip takes you on a wee journey past honey, through little peaks of citrus, into a calm valley of malt. Citrus returns at the end to ask about your trip…
