J&B, established in 1749 by Giacomo Justerini and George Johnson, has been a supplier to British monarchs since 1761.

Despite Prohibition setbacks, J&B became a huge success, selling one million cases annually. Acquired by International Distillers & Vintners in 1962 (now Diageo), J&B remains a prominent part of their portfolio. Bottled at 43% (Bottle size750ml)
