Jura Origin 10yo (OB)


A bitter orange

The Distillery

http://www.jurainfo.com/isle-of-jura-images-wallpaper/isle-of-jura-distillery.html

The owners of the Jura distillery like to refer to the early Isle of Jura distillery as their origin and even proudly put the year 1810 on their bottles.
The old distillery however went silent in 1901, the current distillery is an almost entirely new construction from 1963. I must admit that this vexes me a bit, can you really still claim you're the same distillery after 60 years of silence and decay? I'll admit it's harmless but maybe they should put the year 1963 on their label.
