Isle of Jura 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%

Isle of Jura Legacy, 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%

Isle of Jura Superstition
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
7 It is good to have a more muscular Jura, but I find this a bit too smooth. I would prefer something less sophisticated and more sexy. Must be the size of those paps.
