The remarkable ingenuity that defines the people of Jura; an ability to reimagine and reinvent has brought to life this complex single malt, crafted with a combination of seven cask types: American white oak ex-bourbon, Vosges, Jupilles, Les Bertranges, Allier, Tronçais, and Limousin barrels. The nose opens with light peach and a hint of smoke. The palate is balanced with a great depth of flavour; notes of liquorice and candied orange emerge before a subtle smoke descends in the finish.
Reassuringly rich with a smoky sherry sweetness, this whisky has been matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in aged Oloroso sherry casks to give a rich, rounded and perfectly balanced taste. The nose has a refined combination of delicious tropical fruit aromas. The palate opens with chocolate, walnut and citrus fruit, followed by coffee, liquorice, salted bananas and brown sugar, with a whisper of smoke emerging on the finish.
The oldest expression in the new signature range from Jura. Matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and enriched by Premier Grand Cru Classé red wine barriques, the 18 year old is bottled at 44% abv. The nose has sweet toffee and cinnamon spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied with Black Forest fruits and some smoky notes, before a bitter chocolate aspect and fresh espresso in the finish.
