According to here
www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/juraprohecy.htm

The Isle of Jura Prophecy launched in 2009 and has a limited annual release of 1800 cases worldwide selling for an RRP of £56 per bottle. I make that 10800 a year, so there will have been a lot around. In fact The Whisky Exchange are still selling the first release so they havent sold out yet. I am not sure if they have even had a 2nd release yet as i have not seen one.

As far as for drinking, IMO Jura Prophecy is one of Juras better bottlings but I think you would have to hang on to this one for at least 5 to 10 years and even then i dont think it would make a great deal more. Just my opiniion i may be wrong. I have never really seen Jura as a very collectable whisky.

thanks for the info i wont feel guilty drinking in now lol i still wonder if i should have opened my 2008 cairdeas as it seems to be getting harder to source, but it was nice

just tell yourself it was made for drinking. The Jura Prophecy is very good, dont know why jura doesnt do more as peated as this one.

I agree the Jura Prophecy is very good. I bought a bottle after trying it at a whisky tasting event, the bottle is now long gone.

I have never been a great Jura fan but i agree the Prophecy is good.

I think Jura suffers due to their poor 10yo standard expression. However, the 16yo and the Prophesy are both very good and the Single Casks recently released as a Bourbon, Sherry, and Peated Bourbon are excellent
