J&B Justerini & Brooks Rare Blended Scotch Whisky (1980s)

J&B Rare is a blended Scotch whisky from Justerini & Brooks, in a bottling from the 1980s. It is described as a classic, approachable blend with a lighter, fresher profile. The nose is bright and gently fruity, with lemon zest, green apple, vanilla and soft malt sweetness, plus a thread of heather and grass. The palate is light-bodied and smooth, with honeyed cereal, orchard fruit, vanilla cream and toasted grain, and a little spice and oak behind. The finish is short to medium and clean, with malt, citrus and light vanilla.
