Description
The latest Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare release celebrates lost Highland distillery Glenury Royal, which fell silent in 1985.
The expression is the third in a series of special edition Blue Label blends made using ‘ghost’ whiskies from closed distilleries and other rare single malt and grain whiskies.
It follows the releases of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Brora in 2017, and Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Ellen in 2018.
Bottled at 43.8% ABV, each bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Glenury Royal will be individually numbered.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Light with delicate suggestions of shortbread, toffee and fruit (apple, stone fruit), followed by light baking spices.
Palate: On the palate, this whisky proves itself to be nicely balanced. Buttery shortbread and toffee form the base, with moderate residual sweetness, wisps of smoke and peat on the back end, with hints of baking spices (nutmeg, candied ginger).
Finish: Overall, the word here is “balance.” This expression of Ghost & Rare has elements of richness (toffee, honey), fruit (apple, apricot), peat and spice.
