✨ Technical Specifications
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.

Today owned by Diageo, the house combines exceptional single malt and grain whiskies from across the four corners of Scotland to achieve unparalleled complexity and balance. Guided by centuries of blending mastery, Johnnie Walker pioneered iconic innovations such as the square bottle and distinctive slanted label, alongside its famed color-coded portfolio ranging from the smoky, rich Black Label to the luxurious and rare Blue Label.
