Description:
Part of the line-up for the collaboration event between Whisky Uncovered/TBWC and Big Sam Young’s ‘S’more bistro’ in Castlecrag NSW held on the 30th of April 2023, guests were able to have first crack at purchasing this 11-year-old medicinal Caol Ila before it was offered for general sales if any stock remains available.
TBWC tells us about the label:
“The view from the Caol Ila still house across to the Paps of Jura is perhaps one of the greatest in Scotland. The name Jura derives from the Norse and means ‘deer island’ and red deer out number people by almost 30 fold there. We’ve added Prince Vultan from a certain epic1980s movie, charging across the water with Jura’s famed deer population in tow
