Diageo has announced nine out of ten bottlings from their Special Releases collection for 2018, and for the first time since the Special Releases launched in 2001, there won’t be a Brora or Port Ellen bottling among the line-up.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare is a limited edition series crafted using whiskies from closed “ghost” distilleries and other rare malt and grain whiskies.

Diageo has announced plans to reopen two iconic Scotch whisky distilleries – Port Ellen and Brora. The distilleries, which were closed in 1983, will be brought back into production through a £35 million ($50 million) investment.
