Jura kommer med en aftapning der hedder One for the road som er hyldest til den tidligere destilleri manager på Jura, Willie Cochrane. One for the raod er finished i Pinot Noir cask og er aftappet som en 22 år gammel single malt ved fad styrke på 47% alc. Der er selvfølgelig ikke tilsat farve eller kold filtreret.Historien bag denne aftapning:
Willie Cochrane, our celebrated Distillery Manager, has now retired after an extraordinary 39 year career. It is with much sadness that we won’t see him around the distillery every day but he leaves a legacy that is as much a part of our landscape as the ground beneath our feet.
Over the years, Willie worked his way up from a young mechanic with little knowledge of whisky to become one of the industry’s most celebrated characters, reputed for his warm character and expertise in crafting award-winning malts.
In many ways, Willie’s life has great parallels with the distillery’s story: both chose not to take the easy or most expected path to shape Jura’s island, community and whisky, but each have become celebrated parts of the Jura story in their own right.
As such, we could think of no better way to mark his contribution to the island and its community than to release a very special new whisky called One for the Road – a 22 year old single malt and, fittingly, the final expression to be bottled in Willie’s care.
Highland Park er nu tættere på frigivelsen af den første aftapning i serien The Keystone Series, der har fået navnet Hobbister.
J. & G. Grant har frigivet Glenfarclas 1981 Port Cask IV, den fjerde limited edition aftapning fra Family Collector Serien. Den er som antydet, fuld lageret på port cask, hvilket der er kommet 521 flasker ud af.
I forbindelse med Caithness Viking Festival 2016 har Wolfburn lavet en speciel aftapning med navnet Kylver series. Der er tale om at par ex bourbon casks der er stykket sammen og hermed er den første ex bourbon release fra Wolfburn en realitet.
