Profile: What Makes Jura 18 Year Old Special

Jura 18 Year Old matured for at least 18 years in American ex-bourbon casks of white oak and received a finish in Bordeaux red wine barriques. It is fruity and balanced: layers of forest fruit, rich caramel and a touch of sea salt.

The first legal distillery on the Isle of Jura was founded in 1810. In its early days Jura produced a very heavily peated, almost rough malt. After the closure in 1901 the distillery was rebuilt in 1963 and fitted with larger stills that produce a milder whisky; since 1993 it has belonged to Whyte & Mackay.

The distillery is in Craighouse, the island’s only village. Fewer than 300 people live on Jura; the island is known for the Paps of Jura.

Tasting Notes: What Jura 18 Year Old Tastes Like

  • Nose: Ripe berries and cinnamon, then aromas of wine gums and spicy oak; sweet toffee and cinnamon spice
  • Palate: Dark, ripe cherries and chocolate, roasted coffee and blackcurrants
  • Finish: Again the chocolate, plus notes of pastry – oranges and freshly cut hay in the background
