Second only to Johnnie Walker in the Diageo group and the fifth most popular blended Scotch in the world. J&B is marketed as the world's 'party whiskey' in southern European markets, where it is especially well-liked. The main offering is J&B Rare, a whiskey with a light color and body that is great for blending. On the well-balanced tongue, J&B delivers malt, spice, fruit salad, and sweet grains in addition to its fresh, green, and nutty aroma. The blend consists of more than 40 different whiskies, including Speyside malts—in particular its 'heart malt,' Knockando—and Auchroisk at its center. Other varieties include J&B Reserve, which has been matured for 15 years and has a malty, refined style, and J&B Jet, which is smooth and attractively presented in a black bottle.
