The Battlehill range, named for the many sites of battles throughout Scotland, is a popular selection of predominantly young expressions bottled by Duncan Taylor.

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.
