Portrait: What makes Jura The Road special
Jura The Road is a single malt whisky with an alcohol content of 43.6%vol., bottled in a 1-liter bottle for the travel retail market. It is produced on the Scottish island of Jura, which is located off the west coast of Scotland in the Inner Hebrides. The Jura distillery of the same name, founded in 1810 and extensively modernized in the 1960s, is now known for its characterful whiskies, which include both peaty and mild varieties.
The name "The Road" refers to the only long road that stretches across the remote, wild island - a tribute to the rugged landscape and the slow-paced lifestyle of the islanders. The whisky was first matured in ex-American white oak bourbon casks, providing a solid foundation. It then underwent a second maturation in ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, which had previously been sherry-aged for over 20 years. This double cask maturation gives the whisky additional depth and complexity.
As part of a series of exclusive bottlings for travelers, Jura The Road combines traditional craftsmanship with the spirit of discovery of globetrotters - a whisky that tells stories before you even taste it.
