J & B RARE SCOTCH, Scotland 750ml

That cut fruit salad note in the middle really surprised me—it's so clean and unexpected. The medium body makes it easy to sip neat without any burn. Definitely a solid everyday scotch for the price.

The citrus note on the nose is what got me, but the caramel and berry fruit on the palate is what made me pour a second dram. It's got that medium body that makes it easy to sip neat without being too heavy. Exactly what I hoped for in a blended scotch.

Poured a glass last night and was surprised how smooth the medium body is with that citrus character coming through nicely. The berry fruit notes really linger on the finish in a pleasant way.
