Distilled at Jura Distillery, this Island Region is a bottling from The Old Malt Cask range at Hunter Laing & Co. The marvellous expression was aged for 14 years in a single hogshead cask and this is one of only 304 bottles. Bottled at 50% abv and free from chill filtration with natural colour.
Expect leafy, sweet and fresh aromas, followed by a palate full of orange pulp and a touch of fennel. The finish is long and grassy, with a hint of ginger.
Named for the island just 7 iron away from Islay. Expect ocean influence, lack of peat smoke. The distillery offerings are often gimmicky, finishes and different cask types, however major changes throughout the last decade, especially since 2018. Streamlining 200 years of history into a clean fruit driven style with saltiness and oak compliments.
