J&B Rare

J&B Rare has long been a go-to for whisky fans across the globe, particularly in Europe.

Following the end of Prohibition in the USA, J&B Rare was created by Justerini & Brooks to appeal to the American palate, hitting shelves in 1933. The blend itself is made with a combination of 42 Scotch single malts and grains, with a generous portion of Speyside whisky at the expression's core.

J&B Rare is perfect for those who enjoy a classic whisky taste with a modern twist. This smooth Scotch is great on the rocks or neat, and it's also versatile enough to be used in cocktails.

J&B Rare whisky is an affordable option that delivers on taste and quality, so it's no wonder that it's one of the most popular Scotches on the market. If you're looking for a go-to whisky that won't break the bank, J&B Rare is a great choice.

Reviews for J&B Rare
My dad's favourite whisky
Bought a litre bottle duty free in kefalonia..wasn't expecting much to be honest, J&B was always around the house when I was a kid and when I became an adult I went my own way re whisky.
First tipple back in blighty was with ice and I was surprised..this is quite good! So I had another...then I realised that this J&B whisky is better on its own..much better!
This is my blended whisky of choice now...no ice - no added water - just whisky!
Highly recommended

Not too shabby
This one gets bashed quite a bit, but I happen to think it's actually quite tasty, depending on how you prepare it. On the rocks, it's quite drinkable Toffee notes, a little smoke, and some apple flavors keeps me coming back to this blend. Works for me!

An excellent palate setter
A simple refreshing whisky to begin the evening.
I like to cleanse my palate with J&B before moving on to more expensive complex single malts.
For a cheap scotch it doesn't taste too bad.
It's also kept in the cupboard for visitors who put ice and coke in their drinks.

A great glugger
No nonsense blended whiskey. Nothing in it too challenging, unique taste, miles better than the average blended, a great value for money glugger

Look at the reviews omg
This is the worst Whisky I have ever tried. I tried more than 100 brands in last 8 months. Literally, I did not drink anything worse. Do not buy this because it is cheap. You will dislike whiskey, if you start with this one. Go and try black label or monkey shoulder, if you want blended.

Decent blend
There are better blended whiskies out there (more expensive), but for the price this one is good and works well in a highball or cocktail.

Quality at a decent price.
I am usually a single malt drinker but J&B is the only blended whisky I enjoy and buy. I have tried all the other so called premium blends and in my opinion J&B is the best.
