Isle Of Jura 10 Years Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Scottish island whisky that perfectly balances Highland elegance with coastal character?

The Isle of Jura 10 Years Single Malt represents one of Scotland’s most intriguing distilleries, crafting whisky on a remote Hebridean island with just 200 residents. This single malt expression showcases the unique terroir of Jura’s rugged landscape, where Atlantic winds and ancient peat bogs create distinctive flavor profiles. Unlike heavily peated island whiskies such as Ardbeg’s intense smokiness, Jura offers approachable complexity that bridges Highland and Island styles. For those exploring Scottish regional diversity, consider comparing with Benromach’s Speyside character.
