This is a distillery release of 16 year old distillate from Jura. It is likely bottled with both coloring and filtering, although not officially stated by packaging, etc.
It’s not the latest ‘Duriach’s Own’ bottling, which is sweeter and rounder according to the very excellent Jean-Marc Bélier, taster and note-maker extraordinaire at LMdW.
This is not good. It's young, malty and mostly gross, with few redeeming qualities. That said, it's not the worst I've had, but it needs to come along way to compete with just about any other scotch on the market.
