Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Glenury Royal
70cl, 43.8% abv
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Glenury Royal is
the third in a series of special releases crafted using incredibly rare
whiskies from the unparalleled Johnnie Walker reserves. At the heart of this
limited-edition whisky lies the Highland single malt, Glenury Royal - a ‘ghost’
distillery that shut its doors in 1985 after a long and colourful history.
Founded in 1825 by Captain Robert Barclay, who was a member
of the British Parliament and the first man to walk one thousand miles in one
thousand hours, the distillery was destroyed in a fire, only to rise once again
and flourish under Barclay’s leadership to become one of only three Scottish
distilleries to have a Royal title.
Johnnie Walker Master Blender, Dr. Jim Beveridge, has long
been passionate about exploring the unique flavours found in these
exceptionally rare whiskies. Jim says: “Shining a light on this hidden treasure
of the whisky world is something we’ve wanted to do for some time. This
indulgent new limited edition provides us with a wonderful opportunity to
explore the remarkable layers of rich fruit found in every drop of Johnnie
Walker Blue Label.”
Jim crafted Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Glenury
Royal by blending the highly sought-after “ghost” whiskies from Cambus and
Pittyvaich, with five incredibly rare malts from Glen Elgin, Inchgower,
Glenlossie, Cameronbridge and Glenkinchie.
The result is a whisky with smooth, nutty layers of dark
chocolate, waves of vanilla, heather honey and dried fruits and underlying
notes of creamy toffee and butterscotch - all perfectly balanced by the rich,
fruity, sweet apple and delicate apricot character of Glenury Royal.
