Isle of Jura 30 Years Old (Limited Edition, 40% abv) So, let’s jump right in! Isle of Jura 30 Years Old (Limited Edition) This expression has spent the first 27 years of its life maturing in American oak casks before being transferred to sherry casks from the famed Gonzalez Byass bodega in Spain for the final 3 years of maturation before being bottled at a standard abv of 40% by the distillery. I tried this particular expression when I was in Amsterdam back in June and it was a part of a whisky flight which featured the Glenrothes Oldest Reserve and Glenmorangie Signet, both of which have been reviewed previously on this blog. Isle of Jura 30 Years Old (Limited Edition) Only 1200 of these bottles were commissioned and the picture below showcases what the packaging looks like. Camas an Staca (Picture credit: )īut the expression we are focusing on for this review was bottled in 2010 as a limited edition version of the 30 Years Old and was presented in a handsome leather box. These 8 stones are the remains of an ancient stone circle which was built by the ancient inhabitants of the island (known as Diurachs) over 3000 years ago. The current incarnation has been given the title of Camas an Staca, which is a nickname for the “Standing Stone”. This particular expression is the 30 Years Old offering from the distillery, although the packaging is rather different from what we tend to see. Having previously delved into the history of the distillery in these earlier posts, it would probably be best if this review focused more on the expression itself. In fact, two reviews of separate expressions have appeared on here over the past year and they give a glimpse of what the distillery does well (in terms of its core range) and what it is capable of (in terms of its limited editions).īoth of these reviews can be found at the following link: Jura We are no strangers to the whiskies produced by the Isle of Jura distillery on this blog.
