Jura 10yr Old Whisky 700ml

Jura, located just east of Islay off Scotland's west coast, is one of the country's most stunning but little-known islands. The Jura whisky is made with water from Loch A'Bhaile Mhargaidh (Market Loch) and ground malted barley. The water is not peaty because the loch is located high in the highlands. The wash is distilled twice using pot stills. The high necks on the stills convey a lively spirit. The whisky gets weight and depth from being aged in a combination of American oak and Sherry barrels. The 10 year old Isle of Jura malt has a medium body and aromas of oily, mildly piney, earthy, salty, and dry. The palate is sweetish, smooth, malty, oily, and gradually develops a tiny island dryness.
