Isle of Jura Distillery Prophecy Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

In a World of Its Own Nestled off the west coast of Scotland, the Isla of Jura is a place rich in legend yet shrouded in mystery. A place where good fortune holds a bewitching grip over the islanders, and the three highly distinctive Paps of Jura cast a long and foreboding shadow over the landscape. A magical haven where a sense of solitude is all-pervading: one road, one distillery, one community. There is no whisky and no island quite like Jura. Its truly is in a world of its own. Prophecy Our story begins in the early 1700's when the Campbells of Jura evicted a wise old seer blessed with the gift of the third eye -- the ability to forsee the future. Bristling with resentment, she prophesised that when the last Campbell left the island he would be one-eyed and his belongings would be carroes in a cart drawn by a white horse. Over time the story became legend, the legend became myth and the prophecy drifted from memory. Until 1938, when Charles Campbell, blind in one eye from the Great War, fell on hard times. It was a cold, unforgiving morning when he made his way to the old pier for the last time, travelling on a cart drawn by a single white horse. The seer's prophecy had come to pass. "That day, the sound of the cart on the track could be heard for miles." Allan MacDonald -- witness to a legend. Meticulously crafted from a selection of the finest and rarest aged Jura single malt whiskies, Prophecy is a profoundly peated spirit. Peat smoke, fresh sinnamon and spicy sea spray lead the first assault. Finally, the tarry bonfire notes slowly give way to hints of soft liquorice and nutmeg. Bottled in a traditional style without chill filtration to preserve the true character and deliver an authentic taste of 1938. As such you may detect a gentle haze. This is perfectly natural and does not affect the essence of the spirit.
