Jura 1998 Jack Wiebers 20 Year Old / Old Train Line 

The Isle of Jura is one of the most isolated in the Hebridean archipelago, and by all logical accounts an unusual place to build a distillery. However, the historic site was re-opened in the 1960s, in part to provide jobs to what was a declining population at the time. The rebuilding of the distillery was backed by blenders Charles Mackinlay & Co, so like Bruichladdich, despite the island being covered in peat, it produced an un-peated spirit to meet the needs of their blends. This continued into the 1990s when Whyte & Mackay became its owners, although they did eventually introduce some peated malt to their distilling, launching the Jura Superstition in 2003.

This whisky was distilled in 1998 and aged for 20 years. One of 242 bottles.

This was bottled by Lars-Goran Wiebers, aka "Jack." He is the proprietor of the renowned Jack Wiebers Whisky World retailer in Germany, and has also released a number of respected independent bottlings under labels such as the Old Train Line, Gentle Noses, The Cross Hill, and Auld Distillers Alliance.
