Week 29

So here’s Question 29. You’ve got until midnight Sunday (GMT) to answer and the winner will be announced next Monday along with Question 30.

QUESTION - WEEK 29

In 2009, Jura Distillery released The Paps – an exclusive range of whiskies named in honour of the island’s conspicuous mountain range. These three 15 year old bottlings included the Sacred Mountain and Mountain of Sound. What was the name of the third bottle?

Mountain of Silver
Mountain of Deer
Mountain of Gold :T (Found on a blog here)
(Jura is a mixed bag but I don’t think its bland – I just purchased the 3 bottle set with different finishes (mountain of sound = cab, mountain of gold=pinot noir, and sacred mountain=barolo) and I certainly wouldn’t call them bland)

The answer to last week’s question is A. Congratulations to Matt Slee from United Kingdom who is our lucky winner of a bottle of 10 yr old.
