An Old Islander

ISLE OF JURA (Asturian Version)

Type: Single Malt Scotch whisky
Age: 10 años
Distillery: Isle of Jura Distillery Co., Craighouse, Jura.

Tasting Notes:
This single malt whisky is the proud creation of one of Scotland’s least known but most beautiful Islands. Made with water from the Bhaille Mhargahaidh spring, which confers the subtle taste, it is a whisky which enjoys a fruity undertone with just a hint of smoke and salt air to enrich the palate. A wonderful and enjoyable sip.

To Manuela & Marco with true affection...and to Scotland as well!!!

It was during my last days in Edinburgh when my friend Manuela and I decided to joined the Wild In Scotland guided tour across the Highlands. It was a great experience we enjoyed a lot.There were 15 of us from different nationalities and a crazy Scottish Sherpa who later became a good travel mate of me - A passion in common for both beer and Motorhead is something worthy in that part of the world. I remember that when we crossed the lowlands' border and officially entered the Higlands he stopped the van and leading us to a small hill made a wee ritual. It consisted on passing round a bottle of Isle of Jura 10 years single malt and drinking from it immerse ourselves in the truly highlander spirit.Scot, The guide, winking an eye at me, whispered: “ Hey eidrien, the best part of this is to watch the weird faces of those who don’t like whisky, pay attention!!”. Useless to say that my face , after drinking a couple of long sips, was that of one who does like it. I finished the bottle in the van, sharing it with the nice Kiwi couple seated besides me, while we were north bound to Fort Williams in a merry comradeship that made our journey happier. Slàinte mhor! We’ll come back.
