Isle Of Jura Winter Edition

THE winter sipper.

Not much happens on the island of Jura. This Scottish island just north of Islay has a population of 5000 red deer, but only 200 people. But Jura has long had its namesake Whisky — ever since the Jura Distillery was founded in 1810. The facility fell into a bit of disrepair in the early part of the 1900s but was resurrected again by Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith in 1963. Things have gone well since then and Jura is now a highly respected Single Malt once again with fans around the world who crave their hybrid island/lowland style.

Their Cask Edition series wants to show you what a good wood finish can do for Whisky. The first expression in the range is Isle of Jura Winter Edition that’s first aged in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels and then finished in Sherry casks. It’s THE sipper to warm you on a cold winter day with its toasty warmth and festive spice. Weighing in at a perfect 40% ABV, there’s plenty of fruit cake, nutmeg, cinnamon, and gingerbread on that sweet and juicy palate.
