Суммаризация отзывов

Фруктовый купаж на красных ягодах с лёгкой дымностью и хересной сладостью; водянистое, тонкое тело и короткое послевкусие. Опытные ставят твёрдую середину, оценивая его как приятный, но заурядный.

развернуть подробно

В аромате преобладают красные и тёмные ягоды — малина, вишня, слива, ежевика, чёрная смородина — с сушёными фруктами, изюмом, винной жевательной конфетой и хересно-красновинными нотами; поверх идёт лёгкий дымок, у части дегустаторов ассоциирующийся с горелой древесной стружкой, шоколадом и карамелью. Вкус почти единодушно называют слабой стороной: тонкое, водянистое, местами маслянистое тело, приглушённая сладость с плодовым джемом, лёгкая пряность и дубовая горчинка; послевкусие короткое, суховатое, у некоторых спасаемое тёмным шоколадом и кофе. Хвалят доступность, питкость и соотношение цены и качества, а нос — за неожиданную сложность от бочек из-под красного вина. Критика сосредоточена на пустоте и одномерности вкуса, чрезмерной сладости, водянистости и коротком послевкусии, а также на несоответствии имени линейке Black Label — многие считают напиток напитком для новичков или основой для коктейлей. Опытные ревьюеры держатся плотной группой около 79–81, отмечая приятный, но ничем не выдающийся характер и лишь травянистость либо чрезмерную водянистость как изъяны; остальные оценки расходятся куда шире — от восторженных 84–86 за кремовость и цену до резко отрицательных 29–55 за «сладкую водичку» и завышенную цену. Согласие есть в описании профиля (ягоды, лёгкий дым, херес, тонкое тело), расхождение — в итоговой ценности: опытные ровно-сдержанны, новички поляризованы.

I am not the target audience for this whisky. But this is fun to discover as a novice whisky drinker!

90ClubWhisky Connoisseur 81 02 may 2025 11:42 pm

Quite pleasant. Aromas of red fruits. Dried fruits. Raisins, raspberries, cherries. There is quite a bit of smoke and ash. Sweet and smoky.

Soft and pleasant aroma with shades of red dried berries and velvety spices, through which a neat smoky tone breaks through. Delicate and oily in taste, spices, nuts, dried fruits, wine motives. The aftertaste is spicy with notes of dark chocolate, dried berries and spices.

dram-drinker Connoisseur 81 08 sep 2025 4:41 pm

Good mouthfeel, little herbacious, still not really special

Certainly in a different flavour camp than Johnnie Walker Black Label, the Ruby does stay true to the brand's DNA.

Not bad, but I think I'll drink black

A pleasing and quaffable, fruity blend, but for me it has nothing to do with Black Label or Double Black as the name might initially suggest; Colour - strong golden-brown-yellow

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	80	Dark berries, a little tartness and a hint of peat, dark chocolate, wood and sherry
Вкус	81	The peat is now somewhat more present but not too intrusive; at the same time, the whisky tastes quite quaffable and sweet with plum jam (slight acidity) or blueberry jam, a slight woodiness, very good and easy to drink.
Финиш	79	pleasantly soft and medium length

holborndrinker Connoisseur 75 13 jun 2026 10:18 pm

You only have one liver so damage it wisely as my old doctor used to say. Probably aimed more at teens than seasoned whisky drinkers - will get you tipsy regardless. The bottle seems very thin and makes an annoying clanging sound so decided to polish it off.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	75	Not a great deal going on with the nose - some red berry fruits emerge, but it lacks the tannin notes to resemble a port cask finish - hints of playdoh.
Вкус	75	The mouthfeel is best described as wet - it's so thin it would need to run around in a shower to get clean - the flavour isn't overly exciting with notes of rhubarb emerging - the alcohol has the potency of an asthmatic mouse.
Финиш	74	Short with a suggestion of acidity at the death.

Fabian Connoisseur 75 13 mar 2026 3:46 pm

Better than the red label, not better than the black label.

LaphroaigRules Expert Senior 78 13 nov 2025 3:34 pm

Super overhyped, this whisky is not even close to being as good as black label

kroy Expert Junior 79 15 may 2025 7:47 pm

Great one for price. Sweet, sherry,smokey. It was blind test and this whisky tasted very well.

StefanKatonaXXL Expert Senior 75 20 apr 2025 9:35 pm

I could imagine this whisky as a base for cocktails. Drinking it neat like this is no experience. It is too watery and thin, it would be fine to drink it straight from the bottle. Aroma: A hint of smokiness in the background, overdone by an excessive effort to imitate something like old wood, as a hint of the influence of PX barrels. Too sweet aroma like syrup for mixed drinks or maraschino cherries in sweet pickle. Surprisingly, potato starch. The taste is also not very famous, slight woodiness, bitterness, a hint of smoke, a slight spiciness and in the background a chocolate bitterness with cherries reminiscent of a moncherry box. Bitter finish at the end. No, I probably will never buy this version again. Very boring, unsuccessful whisky.

Aroma: mild wooden barrel, mild smoke, sherry, berry red wine, blood orange Taste: very rumbling at the beginning, later better and slightly sweet Short and painless exit I was a little disappointed that could be better

MatsMardaga Member Junior 77 24 jul 2025 7:41 pm

An Okay whiskey with a fairly tame nose, a taste that leaves a lot to be desired but a finish that brings me a smile.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	78	Nose is fruity, I would have expected a higher ABV. I can smell some wood, light peat. Almost reminds me a little of a typical Dalmore.
Вкус	69	Very flat and monotone. Little peat, I expected more due to the nose. A bit thick, a little oily. I remember my first thought was 'This is water' even though it was my first sip of whiskey in a week.
Финиш	85	Very redeeming, long lasting notes of intense chocolate and coffee. Very well done. It keeps on lingering, maybe due to the thicker texture of the whiskey? As someone who also regularly drinks stouts, this is a redeeming quality to me. Other than that, nothing else very special pops to mind.

aroma: subtle, flatter, dark fruit taste: bland to none, watery, sherry somewhere in the background Much more beautiful in smell than in taste, bland, empty

domani Connoisseur 83 26 aug 2025 9:58 am

The nose is astonishingly complex, and the influence of the first-fill red wine cask is clearly noticeable. The palate and finish are simple and one-dimensional - August 15, 2025

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	85	Clear note of red wine, red fruit, toffee, berries, fig, mirabelle plum, cherry juice
Вкус	83	Fruity-sweet, spicy
Финиш	82	Short, oak spice

herby.usa Connoisseur 86 27 aug 2025 7:51 pm

Conclusion: Hold it in your mouth for a long time to fully enjoy the creaminess and flavors. Price - performance tip/top

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	86	Immediately sour wine aromas, fruity, fresh, mineral, Stone fruits (cherry, plum, mirabelle plum), jostaberry, black currant After the first sip, a very subtle smoky note
Вкус	87	40%? The start is intensely spicy. followed by the fruity note (see above), wine gum, now it becomes extremely creamy in the mouth, Gummy bears, caramel, roasted coffee and a nice drying mouthfeel (definitely sherry)
Финиш	86	Sour fruits stay in the mouth (wine gum) Mucous membranes remain dry for a long time

Good price/performance ratio, quite good for beginners. My criteria: up to 30 to give away up to 60 good whisky up to 90 very good over 90 top

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	60	Mild and fruity, with a hint of port wine in the background
Вкус	65	Mild, fruity, sweet, it becomes a little sour before becoming slightly dry
Финиш	60	Medium-long, with some dark chocolate

There are so many better whiskys at this price point, making this a very meh. I picked it up whilst staying unexpectedly in London thinking it would be a safe bet, relying on the label. I didn't want to double up on whiskys I already had at home. Overall it's not unpleasant but at the price point there are better whiskys giving a fruit taste and finish. Ultimately I drank it to finish it but I wouldn't buy it again. If received, I'd pass it on to someone who perhaps would appreciate it more.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	50	It's not unpleasant but it's also nothing special. It smells more potent than it is. There is some faint smoke, but I'm a peat fan so it will never hit that spot for me. I get blackberry aromas alongside sherry overtones but nothing really heavy.
Вкус	60	It feels thin, but plenty of sweetness reminding me of blackberry confit and blueberry rich, strawberry light Eton Mess
Финиш	50	It's short, not unpleasant but leaves a dryness with a blueberry/ blackberry aftertaste

Utku_Alan Newbie 30 28 jun 2026 9:22 pm

I tried this when the market owner offered me a glass from his private bottle under the counter. Despite the hospitality, it’s not for me and I don't think I'll be having it again.

corred1964 Expert Senior 74 29 sep 2025 4:34 pm

Not one for me but 'm generally not a fan of much from JW. To me at least the whisky taste is lost among everything else going on.....so many different fruity tastes added t being way too sweet for me..... I can imagine someone who's not a whisky drinker liking it in the same way they might like Haig Club....... Typically watered down t 40%, chill filtered & coloured (way too much colour) Now I have a bottle I think I'll only be able to use with a mixer What I would say, the nose gives away what it's going t taste like......on the palate it's certainly complex but not in a nice whisky way, the finish is quite short.....I'm certainly not getting the smoke mentioned by others, but I'm a huge Islay fan & like my smoke to hit as soon as I taste the whisky, not to be lost among red fruits & sweetness

Whisnyx Expert Senior 81 30 aug 2025 5:14 pm

Not a bad whisky, but the tar and astringency hold it back from being truly enjoyable.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	82	Berries, caramel, light smokiness, hay, dried fruits, a touch of booze, woody notes
Вкус	81	Watery texture, tar, sweetness, honey, plum

Blog coming on www.longpouramour.com on 29 December 2025. This is my conclusion: "Alright, it is a variation, but it sorely lacks the depth that the regular Black Label manages to offer. Is that the 12 years of maturation that is missing in this Black Ruby? In this expression, I am much more aware of the grain content. Very light, but drunk on wine. I can hardly recommend this bottle."

Ficelli Connoisseur 80 31 aug 2025 7:20 pm

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	81	A fruity bouquet of red fruit, featuring raspberries alongside blueberries, plums, cherries, and blackberries. The whole is lightly smoked over a flame of burning pencil shavings. Finished with wine gums.
Вкус	78	I find the flavor profile rather weak. A mix of wine gums, cherries, blueberries, plums, and blackberries. It's lightly smoky and finished with a touch of orange peel, banana peel, and a touch of oak. The tannins present in the wine are reborn in this whisky.
Финиш	82	The flavor notes fade away quite quickly. The slightly bitter notes of orange peel, banana peel, and oak dominate the finish, which is nevertheless more intense in its taste experience.
