Isle Of Jura Winter Edition Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a single malt that captures the essence of Scottish island whisky-making with perfect winter warmth?

The Isle of Jura Winter Edition represents a masterful example of dual cask maturation, combining American oak foundations with Spanish sherry finishing. This seasonal expression from the renowned Hebridean distillery showcases why Jura’s approach to cask management rivals expressions like BenRiach’s smoky offerings and Ardbeg’s intense peat character.
