Jura 16 Years Diurachs' Own
Six more years of maturation than the standard bottling lend a lot more smoothness and complexity to this single malt. With the manifold aromas of salt and earth you can experience a complete circle of the year on Jura.

The quality of this fairly complex and engaging Single Malt from the Isle of Jura is slightly dragged down by intense coloring (E150a) and its low bottling strength of 40% ABV. Orange peel, dark fruits and toffee can be found on the nose, supplemented by heather honey, ginger and a hint of salt. Jura 16 arrives heavy, sweet and full-bodied with rich spices, bitter chocolate and well-integrated, earthy cask influence in the development. The finish is delicate, prolonged and bitter spicy. However, given the lack of intrinsic quality, this whisky is rather overpriced.
