Its remaining casks are a finite and irreplaceable resource. The Ghost \u0026amp; Rare series was created to explore the flavour of irreplaceable spirits from a small number of iconic closed distilleries. The result layers creamy vanilla sweetness and rolling waves of waxy citrus, rich malt, and tropical fruit notes — all perfectly balanced by the distinctive maritime smokiness of Port Ellen that lingers in the long and warming finish.
