Deer, Bear & Moose Isle of Jura 2011 is an 11-year-old Highland single malt Scotch whisky distilled at Isle of Jura in 2011 and bottled at natural cask strength, 59.2% ABV.
Deer, Bear & Moose is the independent bottling label established by Flaviar & friends, and this is its Jura selection #29.
The whisky was matured in bourbon hogsheads and bottled without chill filtration or added colour.
It pours a pale golden straw, with marzipan, almond, bitter chocolate, honey and citrus on the nose, and an oily palate of candied fruit and oak with a fresh, long finish.
Independent bottlings like this show a distillery's spirit in a way the official range rarely does, and at cask strength this Jura has plenty to explore with a drop of water. It is a fine bottle for a single malt collector.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
