Isle of Jura 1999 / 3 Year Old

The malt that started the craze for intensely peaty young whiskies, Cask 92 is an amazing colour for a whisky aged for the minimum legal period. The nose and palate are even more impressive - it's difficult to fathom how such a young spirit can have acquired so strong a character in such a short time. Bursting with exuberant cereally, peaty flavour - subtle it ain't, but what an unforgettable experience. "Beautiful!... what a great heavily peated youngster! 90 points (Davin 91, Olivier 91)."
