J&B Rare is a blended Scotch whisky, made by Justerini & Brooks, a wine and spirit merchant located in St. James, London. Giacomo Justerini, an Italian Master Distiller, and George Johnson, an investor, founded the company in 1749. The original purpose was to supply wine and spirits to aristocratic households in London.
Initially named Johnson & Justerini after its founders, the company underwent a name change in 1831 when it was sold to Alfred Brooks. Having been a supplier to every monarch since King George III, Justerini & Brooks hold a royal warrant. Known for their selection of fine wines, as well as J&B, they are now owned by Diageo, a multinational alcoholic beverage corporation.
Inspired by an Italian, created in London, distilled in Scotland. The J&B brand is the original result of blending 42 of the best whiskies produced by Scotland. These include great distilleries like Knockando, Auchroisk and Glen Spey.
A unique style featuring a smooth, fruity taste that brings freshness to each and every glass.
Official Tasting Notes
J&B Rare is a light-coloured and light-bodied blended whisky. Fresh, grassy, woody and nutty on the nose with malt, smoke, spice, fruit salad and sweet grains on the well-balanced palate. The blend contains more than 40 individual whiskies, with Speyside malts at its extremely well-balanced core.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
