In June 2009, Jura Distillery launched a limited edition of 3 single malts inspired by the Paps of Jura mountains that dominate the skyline of the island.
The trio is 15 years old and finished in different types of wine casks.
- Jura Paps ‘Beinn An Oir’
Mountain of Gold: Pinot Noir finish - Jura Paps ‘Beinn A’Chaolais’
Mountain of Sound: Cabernet Sauvignon - Jura Paps ‘Beinn Shiantaidh’
The Sacred Mountain: Barolo finish
Only 1366 bottles are released, signed by Master Distiller Willie Cochrane. If you buy the full set (€ 300), there is a fancy case that holds the three individual boxes. Stay tuned for reviews of the set.
This blog is my personal collection of impressions, written while searching for the ultimate single malt whisky.
