J&B Rare Scotch Whisky

INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK

Impress your friends and family this Christmas with the gift of J&B Rare – a blended Scotch whisky combining forty-two malt and grain whiskies in one smooth yet subtle blend. J&B Rare is a whisky whose blend and reputation has transformed tastes and defined Scotch Whisky since 1932, earning loyal clientele from the Princes of England to the Kings of Swing. The iconic bottle has become a recognised symbol of sophistication around the world.

The heart of J&B Rare is formed from the finest Speyside malts, blended together before being returned to cask for a further three years’ maturation. A unique process of blending mastery, bringing together the bold flavours of single malts with lighter grain whiskies, adding fullness and depth to the blend.

Serve J&B Rare on the rocks, in true Dean Martin style (the most loyal of J&B’s Rat Pack admirers) or as a long drink in a Highball topped with soda or ginger ale and garnished with a lemon twist for a refreshing twist on a classic whisky serve.

STEAM CLIP™

Improving an Existing Solution

For many years, savvy travelers have used the steam in hotel showers to relax wrinkles from clothes. This not only saves valuable time but also means you can bypass the bulky, dirty iron (assuming the hotel provides one.)
The Problem
This tried and true, pro tip for easier travel works great until you’re presented with those awkward hotel hangers, like the extra small micro-hook, or worse yet, the dreaded ball-top. Hotel hangers are designed only for the hotel closet – no steaming with those!

Even with a regular hanger, it can be hard to find a good place close to the shower steam, especially in a shower with a glass wall or a thick shower door. Improvising usually means dropping your clothes in a puddle of water.

Solving the Problem with STEAM CLIP™
Invented by a frequent flier, STEAM CLIP™ was created to solve common obstacles when steaming in hotels. STEAM CLIP™ is the only travel tool in the world that’s designed from the ground up especially for steaming clothes in a wide variety of hotels.

Use STEAM CLIP™ to hang all three hotel hangers: the regular hook, the micro hook and even the dreaded ball-top. Also STEAM CLIP works in all common shower types: the rod & curtain, the glass wall (found across Europe) and even thick shower walls & doors.

With STEAM CLIP™ pro-travelers will easily and conveniently use the hotel shower to save time and steam wrinkles – even with the awkward hotel hangers and in nearly every single type of shower.
Taking it to the Next Level: It’s also a Multi-tool!
STEAM CLIP™ Multi-tool features
+ Bottle opener + Thread & tag cutter
+ Smartphone stand + Ruler
+ Use to keep purse or jacket off restroom floor at airport

Additional STEAM CLIP™ functions
+ Utility hook over doors & closets in the hotel room
+ Extra hook around the house
+ What a great gift idea!
+ Perfect for cruise ships where irons are not allowed in cabins

A travel pro’s bag is valuable real estate. Every travel essential must over-perform to earn a space in your travel bag. STEAM CLIP™ takes it to the next level as a multi-tool for hotel room survival.
