Isle Of Jura 12 Years The Bay Single Malt [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a single malt that bridges the gap between Highland elegance and sherry sweetness?

The Isle of Jura 12 Years The Bay Single Malt represents a duty-free exclusive expression that showcases the distillery’s mastery of Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finishing. Named after the picturesque bay at Craighouse where Jura distillery sits, this 1000ml bottling offers exceptional value for collectors seeking something beyond standard releases. Unlike heavily peated Islay expressions like Ardbeg 10 Year Old, The Bay delivers approachable complexity through its unique maturation process.
