Jura Whisky proudly unveils new sherry-finished expression to Cask Editions Series – Jura Winter Edition 

As the festive season fast approaches, Jura Single Malt Scotch whisky is proud to present the new Winter Edition from the tiny island community distillery.

The new expression follows Jura Red Wine Cask, the first in the series released earlier this year. Each whisky in this new series will celebrate the role of different cask finishes throughout the maturation process and the impact they have on creating the distinctive flavour of Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The Cask Editions series will highlight the connection between the land and the spirit bringing distinct regional and seasonal flavours to the island malt.

Gregg Glass, Whisky Maker at Whyte & Mackay, commented: “I’m really passionate about exploring the flavour we can unlock within Jura. In our new Winter Edition we’ve created the perfect festive season toaster. In this expression, we have crafted a harmonious marriage of sweet spices and freshly baked apple pie, which result in an indulgent whisky while staying true to the heart of our distillery character with its mapled and citrussy characteristics.”

“The Isle of Jura is a unique place to develop and experiment with whisky and Jura Whisky is at the heart of an unbreakable bond between our island, our people and our distillery.  This release captures that island spirit and is ideal for keeping warm with friends and family and toasting during the winter months.”

Jura’s Winter Edition is a rich and warm full-bodied single malt, weaving in winter warming notes of sweetness from sticky maple syrup, spicy mulled wine and freshly brewed coffee, the finish is left with a comforting taste of whipped vanilla and cinnamon spice.

Jura Winter Cask is offered at 40% ABV, after being matured first for a period in American White Oak Ex Bourbon barrels and finished in hand-selected aged Spanish Sherry Casks.

Jura Winter Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1L is exclusively available in the UK at Tesco at an RSP £44.00

About Jura:

Jura is a remote Scottish island nestled off the West Coast of Scotland. With only one road, one pub, one whisky distillery and 212(ish) people, Jura is as beautiful as it is remote.

The distillery was established in 1810 and reborn in 1963 to revive the community.

Inspired by our history and our island home, we create single malt with a true passion for the craft of whisky making.
