Product Details

Bold whisky has never tasted so sweet. Johnnie Walker Black Ruby is a bold yet smooth Blended Scotch Whisky, building on the legacy of Black Label with a unique, fruit-forward character. Masterfully crafted by Emma Walker, this premium whisky balances rich, sweet, and vibrant berry notes, thanks to a meticulous selection of aged malts from our finest reserves.

At its heart, select whiskies are matured in PX/Oloroso and wine-seasoned casks, while others rest in ex-bourbon barrels, infusing the blend with luscious caramel and vanilla notes. The result is an explosion of flavour—layered, deep, and irresistibly smooth in every sip.

Enjoy Black Ruby neat, on the rocks, or in creative cocktails like the Black Ruby Ramble, Black Ruby Tonic, or Black Ruby Sour. Perfect for celebrations or unforgettable nights with friends, this bold yet sweet whisky also makes an exceptional gift for whisky lovers and adventurous palates alike.
