Blended from Spirits Produced at 8 Distilleries Including 3 Ghost Distilleries
Diageo's 7th Master Blender 'Emma Walker's First Limited Edition

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Diageo Korea's Scotch whisky brand Johnnie Walker announced on the 14th that it will launch the ‘Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Port Dundas Limited Edition’.

The Ghost & Rare series of Johnnie Walker Blue is a limited edition product that blends whisky spirits produced at so-called ‘ghost’ distilleries that are no longer in operation with rare spirits. Since its launch in 2018, editions such as ‘Brora’, ‘Port Ellen’, ‘Glenury Royal’, and ‘Pittyvaich’ have been released, attracting the attention of whisky enthusiasts every year.

The fifth installment of the Ghost & Rare series, the Port Dundas Edition, uses rare spirits produced at a total of eight distilleries: three ghost distilleries and five distilleries holding rare whisky spirits.

Including the ‘Port Dundas’ distillery, established in 1811 and supplying whisky worldwide for over 200 years until 2010, as well as other ghost distilleries such as ‘Cambus’ and ‘Brora’, the precious spirits combine to offer a unique sweetness and excellent flavor.

It features a balanced blend of sweet creamy vanilla, woody notes, and smoky aromas, along with spicy apple, berry, and peach scents from spirits of five other distilleries (Dailuaine, Oakroisk, Cameronbridge, Glenkinchie, and Clynelish). Notably, this is the first limited edition presented by Diageo’s new seventh Master Blender Emma Walker, allowing enjoyment of the depth of an original yet delicate blended whisky.

A Johnnie Walker brand representative said, “This Ghost & Rare Port Dundas Edition is a limited edition that highlights sweet and delicate flavors,” adding, “As a product emphasizing the rarest spirits of Johnnie Walker Blue, we hope you savor the depth of its taste.”
