Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky 18 years 0.7L 42% The history of the Isle of Jura distillery Isle of Jura is a single malt whisky distillery on the island of Jura in Scotland, Great Britain. It is part of the whisky region of the islands and is located in the village of Craighouse, the only settlement on the quiet island. The name "Jura" translates as red deer, of which around 5000 individuals live on the island and that is with a population of just around 225 people. The island is so remote that it can only be reached by ferry from the neighboring island of Islay, from which it is separated by a narrow strait. It is also worth mentioning that George Orwell wrote his famous work "1984" on the island. The distillery in its current form has been active since 1963, although legal distillation activities on the island have been documented since 1810, extending right up to the First World War. Distillation did not take place until 1958, and activities were finally resumed to create new jobs. The distillery now has 2 wash stills and 2 spirit stills and an annual output of 2,200,000 l. The distillery's water comes from the famous Bhaille Mharghdaidh spring Isle of Jura 18 YO While the Isle of Jura malts used to be heavily peated, a milder tone has been struck here. The Isle of Jura 18 YO is also subtly peated, but has a few other special features such as a unique barrel finishing process. The Isle of Jura 18 YO is first stored in small batch American oak bourbon barrels and is finally finished in red wine barrels from Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux. On the nose, this fruity and spicy whisky shows soft notes of vanilla, honey and caramel accompanied by dried fruits such as plums and dried apricots. The long aftertaste is characterized by coffee, liquorice, cassis and chocolate.

Macallan Single Malt Whisky Double Cask 18 Years 0.7L 43% Double Cask 18 Years The 18-year-old Double Cask is also a product from the Double Cask series. Compared to the 12- and 15-year-olds, it is the oldest in the series. For storage, it was decided to divide the whisky into two different types of casks, but what both have in common is that sherry was previously stored in both types. One part matures in American oak casks, another part in European oak casks. In total, the whisky matured for a good 18 years before the two whiskies were married together. The aroma is characterized by dried fruit and a pleasant sweetness due to storage in the sherry-soaked casks. Spice notes such as nutmeg and cloves can also be heard, and the sherry influences are clearly recognizable.

Glen Scotia Single Malt Whisky Campbeltown Harbour 0.7L 40% Glen Scotia Distillery The name Glen Scotia is no stranger to whisky experts in particular. The distillery has existed since 1832 and is valued for its high quality and authenticity. Today Glen Scotia is produced under the management of the Loch Lomond Distillery Co., which produces only around 100,000 l of Glen Scotia each year. Maturation and taste The name of the whisky does what it suggests: It exudes a harbor atmosphere! The Glen Scotia Campbeltown Harbour matures entirely in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, which give the whisky slightly fruity characteristics. There is also a sweet herbal aroma, as well as a certain saltiness and subtle influences of peat smoke and a mild sea breeze.

Glen Scotia 1832 Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1.0L 46% Glen Scotia is a whisky distillery from Campbeltown with a company history spanning almost 200 years. The Glen Scotia distillery was founded in 1832 and, like many whisky distilleries, went through many ups and downs during this founding period. The distillery remained in family ownership for just over a century until it was sold to West Highland Malt Distillers in 1919. They filed for bankruptcy just five years later, so the distillery was resold. It now belonged to Duncan McCallum. The 1920s were not easy years due to the prohibition of alcohol in the USA, which became apparent for McCallum towards the end of the 1920s. Due to massive business losses in the USA and personal illegal dealings, he went bankrupt and the distillery had to be closed in 1928. From then on, the Bloch Brothers took over the Glen Scotia distillery, managed to survive Prohibition, and operations resumed in 1933 shortly after its repeal. A good 20 years later, the distillery was sold, closed, and remodeled until it was acquired in 2014 by the private equity company Forma Exponent, who still owns Glen Scotia today. Due to its proximity to the sea and the small island of Islay, Glen Scotia has concentrated on peated whiskies, which are known for their very smoky and peaty character. Whisky 1832 The Whisky 1832, which is intended to be a homage to the year the distillery was founded, is first matured in American oak barrels after distillation and then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels. The nose initially reveals slightly sweet notes of brown sugar and sweet dates, leather, oats and walnut aromas can also be detected. On the palate, the 1832 surprises with a harmonious interplay of smokiness and sweetness. A hint of sea breeze and peat are present and lead to a wonderful, long-lasting finish.
