ISLE OF JURA DISTILLERY 16yo Vintage Collection

Jura 16 was a bronze medal winner at the 2004 International Wine and Spirits Competition and won the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and earned a score of 94 points from the Beverage Testing Institute.

Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from Scottish barley, which is milled at the distillery and mashed with hot water in order to release its natural sugars. Once the barley has been mashed, it is fermented and then distilled twice through Jura’s 28-foot tall copper-pot stills. The stills’ unusual size and shape emphasizes the high esther notes of the barley, and produces a noticeably lighter and fruitier whisky.

Bottled at 40% abv.

Natural colour and non chill filtered
