Isle of Jura 16 Years Old 2008 Cask #705897/2008 (Cask Masters)

Cask Masters bottled this 16 year old 2008 Isle of Jura from ex-Bourbon single cask 705897, an outturn of 166 bottles released at a festival event. There is a single distillery on Jura, rebuilt in 1963 across the water from the peat of Islay.

The distillery's light, clean spirit shows well from a single cask. Matured in a single ex-Bourbon cask across 16 years, the wood deepens the honeyed malt.

Bottled at its natural cask strength of 54.9%. Vanillin from the ex-Bourbon oak reads as vanilla, oak lactones as coconut, and maltol adds toffee. Honeyed and full at cask strength. An independent single cask Jura.
