- Description
- Jura's 1989 vintage matured for 33 years in refill American oak, developing into a rare spirit-forward expression of the island's unpeated character. Three decades of wood contact rounds the maritime notes with subtle wood sugars, dried orchard fruit, and evolved oak spice while maintaining Jura's characteristic minerality. Bottled at cask strength by Gordon & MacPhail (113 bottles), this is a collector's piece capturing how time transforms island whisky.
