Isle of Jura 30 Years Old 1994 Cask #806889 (Alistair Walker Whisky Company)

Alistair Walker, of the family behind BenRiach and GlenAllachie, chose this 30 year old 1994 Isle of Jura for his Infrequent Flyers range, drawn from ex-Bourbon single cask 806889. An outturn of 221 bottles for Europe. Jura is the lone distillery on its remote Hebridean island, rebuilt in 1963 for a light, Highland-style spirit.

The distillery's light, clean spirit rewards three decades in oak. Matured in a single ex-Bourbon cask, the wood deepens the honeyed malt.

Bottled at its natural cask strength of 52%. The ex-Bourbon cask supplies vanilla through vanillin, coconut through oak lactones, and a toffee note from maltol. Three decades have layered waxy, honeyed fruit over polished oak. A long-matured Infrequent Flyers single cask.
