IsleOfJuraWinterEdition(700mL)

<p>THE winter sipper.</p><p>Not much happens on the island of Jura. This Scottish island just north of <em>Islay </em>has a population of<em> 5000 red deer</em>, but <em>only 200 people</em>. But Jura has long had its namesake Whisky — ever since the <em>Jura Distillery </em>was founded in <em>1810</em>. The facility fell into a bit of disrepair in the early part of the 1900s but was resurrected again by <em>Robin Fletcher </em>and <em>Tony Riley-Smith</em> in <em>1963</em>. Things have gone well since then and Jura is now a highly respected Single Malt once again with fans around the world who crave their hybrid island/lowland style.</p><p>Their Cask Edition series wants to show you what a good wood finish can do for Whisky. The first expression in the range is Isle of<em> Jura Winter Edition</em> that’s first aged in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels and then finished in Sherry casks. It’s<em> THE sipper to warm you on a cold winter day </em>with its toasty warmth and festive spice. Weighing in at a perfect <em>40% </em>ABV, there’s plenty of fruit cake, nutmeg, cinnamon, and gingerbread on that sweet and juicy palate.</p>
