Jura Distillery Tour

Finally, we have toured a distillery. We are on the island of Jura and went through the distillery. We were able to see the stills, smell the aroma, but could not go through the rest of the facility because it is closed for a couple of weeks for maintenance and repairs. But who are we fooling – the real point of the tour is the sampling at the end! And that we did. Even bought some of the wares, a peaty, but very smooth bottle of Prophecy. Even I can swallow this one down without grimacing.
We have been very lucky with the weather as of late. Warm, sunny and just great. Does mean there isn't always a reliable wind but we sail instead of motor as much as we can.
