My recommendation for a fine evening: J&B

Here's what I prefer on a nice evening just before the weekend starts: A glass of famous Justerini & Brooks.



The facts:
J&B is a scotch blended whisky. The company (founded 1749) is owned by multinational Diageo plc. J&B Rare Blend, the standard J&B whisky brand, is a blend of 42 Scottish malt and grain whiskies.

Quotation:
J&B is the No. 1 Scotch whisky in Europe and the No. 2 in the world with its delicate rounded and balanced flavour which produces a uniquely smooth, long lasting and satisfying taste

J&B Rare brand adorers in the 1960s included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr who featured the brand not only in their shows but also ‘about town’ in the evening.

Unfortunately, J&B is availably in selected stores only. Otherwise you may order it via Internet.

Please enjoy it responsibly!

My scent today: Knize Ten

For my client meeting later today I decided certainly for a suit and KNIZE TEN.

Here are the specifications:

Due to a review, KNIZE TEN (launched in 1920) is a classic and unique scent, which is considered to be one of the best leather compositions in the history of perfume.
