Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Pittyvaich, 43.8%

Price: 370 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky


This fourth installment of Ghost and Rare targets Speyside, delivering a contemplative nose of roasted nuts, toffee, cinnamon, crisp green apple, candied citrus, late summer honey, and seasoned oak. The palate is satin smooth, with a slightly oily mouthfeel and flavors of golden syrup, oak, orange peel, lime zest, butterscotch, vanilla, dry spice, and smoked orange wheel. A polished and rich Johnnie Walker, elevated by subtle shifts in mood.
