There are two reasons why I wanted to buy and try and bottle of J&B Scotch with a whiskey element. Those two reasons being The Thing and The Omega Man, whose main characters both said whisky. Any whisky good enough for MacReady has to be good enough for me.
J&B is a light and smooth, smokey scotch. Not overly complex but pleasant and less metallic than Johnny Walker Red. Let’s see what the element will do!
12 hours in and the Scotch is smoother, and the smoke evens out.
24 hours later and the color is noticeably darker, lightly honey sweet.
48 hours, and we get a dried fruit sweetness, raisin, apricot, mossy and earthy.

| J&B Scotch |
72 hours and this modest priced Scotch is very smooth, fragrant and lightly sweet with mild smoke.
J&B is another case where 72 hours is the only way to go. I like the version at 72 hours so much; it’s going to become my easy every day drinking Scotch.
