World Whisky Day – Why Not Celebrate With A Cocktail On The 15th. May?!

May 6, 2021 by Gary Leave a Comment

WORLD WHISKY DAY: celebrate with a cocktail!

Celebrate World Whisky Day on the 15th May with one of Europe’s favourite blended whiskies J&B Rare. This approachable and accessible Scotch appeals to whisky connoisseurs and ‘new world’ drinkers alike!

The consistent high quality of the blend, which is light in colour with a smooth and elegant taste, makes it the perfect whisky to be enjoyed as a dram or for an at home cocktail this World Whisky Day.

J&B Rare Whisky is distilled, blended and bottled in Scotland. A blend of 42 malt and grain whiskies, the heart of J&B Rare is formed from the finest Speyside single malts: Knockando, Auchroisk, Strathmill and Glen Spey and is expertly blended to create an approachable, rich and complex flavour.

The round, fruity, unique and distinctive taste of the fine malt whiskies is delicately balanced by carefully chosen grain whiskies which gives J&B Rare its distinctive character.


A great cocktail to create is the J&B Rare Whisky Sour:

35ml J&B Rare,
10ml lemon juice,
10ml sugar syrup
3 dashes of Angostura Bitters

Add to an ice-filled cocktail shaker.
Shake and fine strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Garnish with maraschino cherries.

RRP: £22.50, ABV: 40%

J&B Rare is available from these Merchants:-

  • The Whisky Exchange
  • Master of Malt
