Product description
J&B whisky is available almost all over the world, and annual sales of almost 3 million cases guarantee it a place in the top ten most popular Scottish whiskies.
The brand is currently in the Diageo portfolio, and its key components are Auchroisk, Knockando, Strathmill and Glen Spey malts, while grain distilleries supply the North British and Cameronbridge distilleries. The most popular version of J&B is Rare, which debuted just after the repeal of prohibition in the States, but the range includes a few, in our opinion, more interesting proposals. J&B Jet debuted in the second half of the 90s, composed of 32 malt distillates (mainly from Speyside) and grain distillates aged for at least 12 years. The presentation of the whisky catches the eye, a black bottle with a blood-red J&B logo.
