Q: The Isle of Jura continues to increase in popularity as a tourist destination. How many tourists visited Jura in 2010?
A. 3030
B. 4050
C. 6665

I can't find an exact figure but in this report, published in 2005, the distillery "reports that it get around 4,000 visitors per annum, and increasing" and this report says the distillery had 6781 visitors in 2009 (table 8.2).

so I would go for C. 6665


The answer to last week’s question is B. Congratulations to Matt Francis from United Kingdom who is our lucky winner of a bottle of 10 yr old. :T
