Johnnie Walker celebrates Glasgow ghost distillery

Johnnie Walker explores the character of rare whiskies from one of world’s most famous grain whisky distilleries, the Glasgow “ghost” distillery of Port Dundas in its latest release in the multi-award winning Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare series. The renowned Glasgow distillery, nestled on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, shipped its distinct Scotch to ports across the world for nearly 200 years. Built in 1811, Port Dundas became a whisky blending powerhouse, eventually growing to become a distillery known for its distinctive sweet and delicate Grain character before it closed in 2010. “The Ghost and Rare Port Dundas is the 5th and final release in this limited edition series. It is a testament to our passion for innovation and our commitment to providing our consumers with the finest drinking experience. It is a blend of rare and long-closed distilleries, carefully selected by our expert blenders, and finished in casks that previously held some of the world’s finest whiskies,” said Rajesh Joshi, Diageo Philippines General Manager, in a statement. The Johnnie Walker Ghost and Rare series of special editions is crafted using irreplaceable “ghost” whiskies and other incredibly rare expressions from Johnnie Walker reserves used to create the award-winning Johnnie Walker Blue Label. To complement the fragrant wood spice character of Port Dundas, the team hand-selected two other “ghost” whiskies from the distilleries of Cambus and Brora before combining these with other very rare Scotch from five iconic distilleries: Cameronbridge and Glenkinchie which reveal notes of spiced apples alongside Clynelish, Dailuaine and Auchroisk, bringing aromas of peaches and berries. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas follows the release of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Pittyvaich (2021), Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Glenury Royal (2019), Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen (2018) and Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Brora (2017). Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas is bottled at an ABV of 43.8% and is available exclusively through Diageo Private Sales channels, in partnership with Wine Century Bros, Inc. Interested buyers may contact 0917-577-7337 or e-mail diageoprestige.ph@diageo.com for more information.
