J&B 1.875L
概要
A master distiller from Italy, Giacamo Justerini (the 'J' in J&B), fell madly in love with an opera singer, Margherita Bellini, and followed her to England. His love was unrequited, but Margherita introduced him to Samuel Johnson, who in turn introduced him to his future business partner, his nephew, George Johnson. Two generations of Johnsons later the other initial of J&B was found - Alfred Brooks. Brooks bought the company from Johnson and renamed it Justerini & Brooks. Brooks heard of Andrew Usher, an Edinburgh spirits merchant, who enjoyed experimenting and was the first person to blend Whisky to market them. Justerini & Brooks tasked Usher with creating a smoother blend for a new audience, so he called on his business partner to help him - James Anderson. Together they created the J&B Club blend, one of the first houses to make Scotch blends, and grew the business together.
