J & B Rare

Made with a combination of 42 single malts and grain whiskiesthis is one of the most famous of the 'big blends' and for our money one of the best value too. The fruity smoothness and elegant structure comes from some of the finest Speyside malt whiskies that spend many months maturing in oak casks.

The J&B label is a pretty familiar in the world of blended Scotch whiskies and sometimes known as the 'wine merchants' whisky' since it was created in the 1930s by the London vintners Justerini & Brooks. It became famous via its association with the Hollywood Rat Pack during the 1950s and '60s and has remained a common sight on the shelves of cocktail bars ever since.
