Johnnie Walker Black Ruby 1L
AED 165.00
Big dessert energy Scotch, with that classic Johnnie Walker backbone. Black Ruby leans into dark berries, sticky toffee, and cocoa, then drifts into a gentle wisp of smoke. It’s the whisky you pour when you want a richer, fruit-forward sip that still plays nice in a Whisky Highball or a Rob Roy.
Dark, fruity, and unapologetically cosy, this is Johnnie Walker’s Black Label mood with the lights turned low. Black Ruby takes that familiar blended Scotch structure and pushes it toward berry jam, toffee, and soft spice, while keeping a hint of smoke in the background so it still feels like proper whisky.
If you’ve ever wanted a Scotch that hits the comfort-food notes without turning into a sugar bomb, this is the lane. It’s layered enough to sip and think about, but friendly enough to mix when you’re making rounds for friends.
- Nose: Blackberry and cherry compote, cocoa powder, vanilla fudge, a little orange peel, faint smoke.
- Taste: Dark berries up front, then sticky toffee, milk chocolate, and warming cinnamon, with a rounded, creamy feel.
- Finish: Cocoa and gentle oak spice linger, with a last-minute smoky whisper that keeps it grounded.
Why it deserves shelf space, it’s a Scotch that goes big on flavour without needing a lecture. The fruit notes make it a crowd-pleaser, the subtle smoke keeps whisky nerds interested, and it’s versatile enough for classic cocktails like a Rob Roy, Penicillin, or a Whisky Highball when you want something tall and refreshing.
It also scratches that “one more sip” itch. First you get the berry and chocolate vibe, then the spice shows up, then that little smoky tag at the end reminds you this is still very much in Scotch territory.
Fun Fact: The iconic Johnnie Walker “Striding Man” first stepped out in 1908, and he’s been marching across labels ever since.
