J&B // Scotland
J&B began as most Scotch whisky blends did — through wine & spirits merchants. J&B stand for the names "Justerini", an Italian who had followed his heart to London and subsequently became a wine & liquor merchant, and "Brooks" who purchased the business a few generations later.
The blend as we know it today came about in the 1930s, just after the end of Prohibition. .

Tasting Notes
"The nose is full of malt, lemon, and honey. The flavor continues with more lemon and honey with some gentle wood spices and nuts. It is not a terribly complex whisky, but the brightness and pleasantness are reason enough to drink (and overlook its awful Disco Ball mascot). "
