Jura distillery is completely overhauling its entire range of Scotch whiskies in what’s being called the ‘biggest launch in its history’.
The island distillery is replacing its existing range of Scotch whiskies with a completely new line-up that introduces a new flavour direction for the brand.
From April 2018 Jura's core range of Origin, Superstition, Diurach’s Own 16 Year Old and Prophecy will be removed from sale.
The expressions will be replaced with five new bottlings – including a ‘refined and stylish’ bottle design – created around a new signature style, combining subtle smoke with sweetness from American white oak barrels and ‘enhanced’ with a Sherry cask finish, described as a mix of Highland and Island styles.
The revamped Jura 12 Year Old has also been finished in oloroso Sherry casks following a full 12 years in American white oak barrels, giving it ‘subtle smoky notes with a sweet Sherry cask finish’.
The expression, also bottled at 40% ABV, will only be available in selected markets!
Welcome to Jura
A few miles off the west coast of Scotland you’ll find our island: remote, sometimes wild, yet always beautiful.
Home to 200 islanders, one road, one pub and one distillery. Since 1810 this unique island malt has been our greatest endeavour and our greatest reward, its creation the heart of an unbreakable bond between our island, our people and our whisky.
Nose: Aromas of chocolate, walnut and citrus fruit.
Palate: The aromas continue and blend in with a palate consisting of coffee, liquorice, salted bananas and brown sugar.
Finish: A whisper of smoke features in the finish which is sweet from the Sherry Cask finish.
