We had an amazing dinner at Antlers Restaurant with Cara Laing (brand manager for Jura), Distillery manager Willie Cochrane and his wife Rose, Head Brewer Billy and his wife Dorothy. We ate Jura venison, roasted salmon, haddock pate, black pudding and goats cheese, homemade lemon icecream and cheesecake – followed by an entire bottle of Jura 16 year-old between us.

Sounds like you guys had a good weekend. Some of these tasting notes are a trifle whacky. I’m not sure what you’ve been eating in the past, but pirana pine is a new one on me! Each to their own I suppose. Good luck with the website. I’ll give the twitter a go and join in with the next taster you do, might convince a few of my pals as well. All the best, Iain.
Very good post! We will be linking to this particularly great article
