Overview
Eight exceptionally rare distilleries. One legendary whisky.
To celebrate 200 years of Johnnie Walker, this limited edition Blue Label was crafted using whiskies from long-closed ‘ghost’ distilleries.
All eight distilleries were making whisky when the eponymous John Walker first started in 1820, presented here in single epic release. Four of these – Brora, Cambus, Port Dundas and Carsebridge – are long closed. The other four – Oban, Blair Athol, Teaninich, and Lagavulin – are still producing whisky today, over two centuries later.
This superb edition features single malt from Brora, before its 1983 closure; grain whisky from Cambus before its 1993 closure; grain whisky from Port Dundas before its 2011 closure; and grain whisky from Carsebridge before its 1983 closure.
Presented at 43.8% ABV in 750ml bottles, Club Members had exclusive access to bottles for the unmatched price of $297.

Johnnie Walker's History
The Johnnie Walker story began back in 1805 when John Walker was born at his family’s Todriggs Farm, just near the town of Kilmarnock. His father passed away in 1819 when he was just 14 years old, and the proceeds from the subsequent sale of the farm were used to purchase a grocery store on High Street, Kilmarnock.
