Serving Tips from Our Cellar
J&B Rare is best enjoyed at room temperature (18–22°C) or over ice. Here’s a tip: if you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, let it rest for a few minutes after pouring. The flavours will open up beautifully. For a refreshing twist, try it with a splash of soda and a squeeze of lemon.
The Story Behind J&B Rare
J&B Rare has a rich history that dates back to 1749. That’s when Giacomo Justerini moved from Bologna to London. He established a wine merchant in fashionable St James’s Street. The company, Justerini & Brooks, has supplied every British monarch since George III in 1761. In the 1930s, J&B Rare was created. It was designed specifically to appeal to the American palate. It was launched just before Prohibition was repealed. This made it perfectly placed to meet that demand. The whisky rose to prominence in the 1950s and ‘60s. It became publicly associated with the Hollywood Rat Pack. Today, it’s one of the world’s most beloved blended Scotches. It’s appreciated for its approachable character and consistent quality.
