An outstanding collection, all aged 17 years and above, Duncan Taylor's "Rare Auld" range represents top-notch malts of impeccable quality, bottled from single cask and at cask strength.
The Isle of Jura is tucked away between the mainland and whisky mecca Islay, yet the solitary distillery on the island produces a softer, subtler flavour next to the heavy peat of it's neighbours. Aside from the ingredients used - soft, peaty water; plain malt dried with warm air - a major contributor to the style of Jura whisky is the use of very tall stills, creating a very light whisky. This 18 year old is as rare as the branding suggests - just 312 bottles from the cask!
