J&B Whiskyjug 2 Waterjug

Back when whisky houses shipped promotional items to bars worldwide, this type of jug was one of the most common — and today, one of the most collected.

About the product

The J&B water jug is a classic branded jug, originally made as a promotional item to sit at bars and in homes where J&B was poured. It's used to add water to whisky drop by drop or in small amounts, letting the aromas open up.

Today it's as much a collector's item for whisky enthusiasts as a piece of everyday bar kit — both uses work well.
