Johnnie Walker Blue Label celebrates the latest limited edition, Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas. Both crafted using irreplaceable “ghost” whiskies and other incredibly rare expressions from the unparalleled Johnnie Walker reserves.

This fifth release explores the character of exceptional and rare whiskies from one of the world’s most famous Grain Whisky distilleries, the Glasgow “ghost” distillery of Port Dundas. Led by the first female Johnnie Walker Master Blender Dr Emma Walker, the team of expert whisky makers handpicked the most distinctive expressions of maturing whisky from Port Dundas for this new limited edition masterpiece.

Emma chose to shine a light on these incredible expressions from Port Dundas. “Port Dundas was one of the finest Grain Whisky distilleries in the world.” said Emma. She selected a small number of distinctive, aged whiskies, all matured in two different wood types to add depth and layers to the blend.

“The rare expressions that we have chosen from our reserves are some of the most distinctive it has ever produced. Their slow maturation allowing the delicate Grain character to blossom,”
