Johnnie Walker 40 Year Old Master's Ruby Reserve Limited Edition

Johnnie Walker 40 Year Old Master's Ruby Reserve, an extremely Limited Edition celebrating Master Blender Jim Beveridge's 40th Anniversary.
For this celebratory release, Jim worked closely with his team of whisky makers and chosen whiskies from the 'ghost' distilleries of Cambus, Carsebridge, Pittyvaich and Port Ellen, all perfectly balanced with highly-aged expressions from Talisker, Royal Lochnagar, Glendullan and Cragganmore. Jim personally selected eight exceptionally rare whiskies that evoke his earliest whisky-making memories.
This exceptional whisky is presented in a beautiful, hand-crafted golden-red Baccarat crystal decanter and encased in an exquisite wooden box.
Only 398 bottles released.

    Finish:   Long, lingering finish, with notes of caramelised apples, pears and maraschino cherries.

Johnnie Walker is arguably the most popular and recognisable blended Scotch on the market. Its core range includes the standard Red Label and Black Label, introduced in 1909 and named, quite simply, after their packaging. The iconic “striding man” motif was first drawn by Tom Browne the year prior. The premium Blue Label brand was introduced in 1992, and is composed using malt whisky from some of the most sought after distilleries in Diageo's extensive portfolio.
