Johnnie Walker - Black Ruby | Blended Scotch Whisky

Johnnie Walker Black Ruby is a bold, fruit-forward blended Scotch whisky introduced globally in 2025 by Diageo, positioned as a permanent expression in the Johnnie Walker lineup. It builds on the DNA of Johnnie Walker Black Label, but shifts toward sweeter, richer cask influences. The blend incorporates malt and grain whiskies matured in a mix of casks: ex-bourbon, first-fill red wine casks, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. These contribute layers of dark fruit, sweetness, and warm complexity. The Roseisle distillery plays a central role in delivering its “ruby-berry” style and red fruit character. Black Ruby is meant to appeal both neat/sipping whisky drinkers and those who enjoy whisky in cocktails, bringing sweetness and fruitiness to the forefront without sacrificing the signature Johnnie Walker smoky, blended Scotch style.
