Whisky fans will be delighted to know that on the 1 October Johnnie Walker is launching Ghost and Rare Glenury Royal, their third whisky in the series of Ghost and Rare.

At the heart of this lies the rare Highland Single Malt, Glenury Royal – an exceptionally rare whisky.

Scotch whiskies have the richness and depth of character required to intricately craft Johnnie Walker Blue Label, including some irreplaceable casks from long-closed “ghost” distilleries. Hence the name

This award-winning whisky is handcrafted in small batches using bespoke vattings of rare whiskies matured in Sherry casks.

 In the Johnnie Walker portfolio of whiskies only Johnnie Walker Blue Label is crafted in this way.

This latest edition explores orchard fruits, sweet apple and delicate apricot notes and all heightened by the creamy toffee and butterscotch flavour, offering the perfect gift this Christmas. For me.

The Ghost and Rare bottle is available at TheWhiskyExhange.com, Master of Malt Whisky Shop, Harrods, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols all priced at £274.90
