Crafted by Master Blender Jim Beveridge to mark his 40-year ruby anniversary with Johnnie Walker, the Masters Ruby Reserve is an extraordinary testament to the art of Scotch whisky blending. This ultra-rare expression brings together exceptionally scarce whiskies, each matured for at least four decades. The blend features precious liquids from 'ghost' distilleries that have long since closed, including the legendary Port Ellen and Brora, alongside Cambus and Carsebridge. Rich with history, this release reflects the ultimate mastery of selection and maturation, offering a complex, velvety journey through Scotland's lost distilling treasures.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1820 by grocer John Walker in Kilmarnock, Scotland, Johnnie Walker has grown to become the world's most widely distributed brand of blended Scotch whisky. Now owned by Diageo, the house is celebrated for its pioneering blending techniques, originally developed to offer consistent quality in an era of unpredictable single malts. Utilizing whiskies sourced from the four corners of Scotland—including renowned distilleries in Speyside, the Highlands, the Lowlands, and Islay—their master blenders craft complex, balanced profiles. The portfolio is anchored by iconic color-coded expressions, ranging from the smoky complexity of Black Label to the exceptionally rare and luxurious Blue Label.
