You might be onto something here. This lager I'm drinking is just below at 4.8. Maybe I should try a stronger beer but drink less of them as a way to cut down.

Yeah I only rely like beer or wine, and if I start on wine I always get carried away cos it disappears so quickly. Maybe a good strong beer would encourage me to drink less quantity but have the same pleasant effect

talk to fat jim and he'll tell you about the days craner used to drink J&B like it was apple juice.

J&B Rare has long been a go-to for whisky fans across the globe, particularly in Europe.
Following the end of Prohibition in the USA, J&B Rare was created by Justerini & Brooks to appeal to the American palate, hitting shelves in 1933. The blend itself is made with a combination of 42 Scotch single malts and grains, with a generous portion of Speyside whisky at the expression's core.
J&B Rare is perfect for those who enjoy a classic whisky taste with a modern twist. This smooth Scotch is great on the rocks or neat, and it's also versatile enough to be used in cocktails.
J&B Rare whisky is an affordable option that delivers on taste and quality, so it's no wonder that it's one of the most popular Scotches on the market. If you're looking for a go-to whisky that won't break the bank, J&B Rare is a great choice.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt​


Nose A medium-bodied nose with hints of walnut, toffee apples, cedar wood, orange zest and malt.

Palate Balanced and rounded nose - lots of fruit here, with a little toffee and malt.

Finish Medium finish with oak and cinnamon.
