- Description
- Jura's 16-year-old from paired hogshead casks, distilled in 1998 and bottled by Ian Macleod in 2015, represents the island's balanced style—neither heavily peated nor entirely delicate. Light smoke, orchard fruit, and maritime minerality develop gradually with maturation, supported by well-integrated oak. Suitable for discovering Jura's understated Island character.
