Johnnie Walker Ghost & Rare Pittyvaich at The Whisky Exchange – Scotch Whisky News
The fourth release in this much-loved series is here – Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Pittyvaich.
Crafted by master blender Jim Beveridge and his team, this limited-edition bottling is focused on Pittyvaich in Speyside, which closed in 1993, as well as the lost grain distilleries of Port Dundas and Carsebridge. Along with the ghost distilleries, the team also brought in whiskies from Auchroisk, Cragganmore, Mannochmore, Strathmill and Royal Lochnagar to reinforce Pittyvaich’s uniquely funky and fruity style.
The result is a whisky that combines the autumnal character of Pittyvaich with the delicate sweetness and spice of well-aged grain whiskies – a fruity palate of fresh apples and berries supported by notes of vanilla, honeycomb and cinnamon. A must for Johnnie Walker fans and an excellent continuation of this sought-after series.
