The coming two weeks I will be concentrating on Isle of Jura, the favorite distillery of my friend Glenn. Will he convert me? We will see. Let us start with the Superstion, that is somewhere between…

The Prophecy is inspired by the (true?) story of an old and wise fortune teller, who predicted the downfall of the Clan Campbell. This clan ruled the Isle of Jura at the start of the 18th Century. It is…

Did you know that Jura is Norwegian for deer? Rather apt if you know that there are about 300 Diuriachs as opposed to some 6.000 of the animals with antlers. Anyway, this Special Edition is a vatting of…

Ian Macleod Distiller’s Chieftain’s Choice range has been around for many years and is somewhat hit and miss. Their whisky appears in so called Small Batches, but what is small exactly if you know that…

In their third (actually fourth, but the first was called Inaugural) release, the Dutch bottles Archives got hold of a cask of Isle of Jura. Or at least part of a cask. I think. Only 60 bottles were…

It is always exciting to discover a new single malt. Today, I am trying my first ever Imperial. It is a lesser known distillery that was more closed than it was open. This bottle was released last year…
