For this celebratory limited-edition, Jim, working closely with his team of whisky makers, has 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.
This exceptional whisky is presented in a beautiful, hand-crafted golden-red Baccarat crystal decanter. This emblematic colour – a tribute to Jim’s ruby anniversary and a hallmark of Baccarat’s most exceptional pieces – is the embodiment of unique craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation since the mid-19th Century. Clear crystal is gradually fused with 24-carat gold powder at exactly 540°C to achieve the iconic golden red finish.
All the whiskies used to create Johnnie Walker Master’s Ruby Reserve are at least forty years old and only 398 bottles are being released – an extremely limited run of an incredibly rare liquid.
