Johnnie Walker Ghost & Rare Glenury Royal Blended Scotch Whisky

Description

Johnnie Walker Ghost & Rare Glenury Royal is a limited-edition blend crafted to honor the legacy of the closed Glenury Royal distillery. This luxurious whisky marries rare single malts from Glenury Royal with other exceptional whiskies, creating a complex and layered flavor profile.

Taste Notes

Nose: The initial aroma offers a delightful burst of fresh orchard fruits. Imagine sweet apples, delicate apricots, and perhaps a hint of pear, thanks in large part to the Glenury Royal influence.  These fruity notes are beautifully complemented by creamy toffee and butterscotch, likely contributed by grain whiskies from Cambus and Cameronbridge. Some tasters also detect savory hints of olive oil and a touch of cinder toffee, adding a surprising complexity.

Palate: The initial sweetness from the nose carries through onto the palate, with waves of vanilla and heather honey. Other single malts like Glen Elgin, Inchgower, and Glenlossie contribute notes of dried fruits, creating a richer and more layered flavor profile. A subtle floral note may emerge, adding a touch of elegance. Depending on the batch, some may also experience a hint of sherry influence, bringing forth flavors of dried fruit and cinnamon.

Finish: The luxurious experience lingers on the finish with smooth dark chocolate and nutty layers. A touch of black pepper might add a hint of spice, while some tasters perceive lingering notes of apple and pastry. The overall finish is long and satisfying.
