The Johnnie Walker Masters Ruby Reserve 40 Year Old is one of the most exclusive and extraordinary creations in the history of the renowned Scottish distillery. Crafted to celebrate the 40-year career of Jim Beveridge, a world-famous Master Blender, this whisky embodies the mastery, patience, and elegance that have made the Johnnie Walker name legendary.
Produced in an extremely limited edition of only 398 bottles worldwide, the Ruby Reserve is a blend of rare single malt and grain whiskies distilled in the 1970s and preserved for decades in the House’s oldest reserves. Each drop represents a fragment of history, selected for its aromatic complexity and perfect harmony.
The sensory profile is sumptuous and refined: on the nose, notes of dried fruit, dark chocolate, heather honey, caramel, and sweet spices emerge. The palate is broad and velvety, with nuances of tobacco, aged wood, and candied orange peel. The finish is long, elegant, and enveloping, with echoes of vanilla and gentle smoke that seal an experience of rare depth.

It combines rare whiskies aged for over four decades, comes in a strictly limited edition of 398 numbered bottles, and is presented in a luxurious Baccarat crystal decanter with ruby-detailed lacquered wood casing.
