Jura 18 Year Old

The top-of-the-line Single Malt from Jura aged eighteen years and finished in Bordeaux casks.

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 Whiskey — 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. Now owned by Emperador Distillers, things have gone well since and Jura is a respected Single Malt once again with fans who crave their hybrid Island/Lowland style.

The Isle of Jura Distillery has been experimenting with Single Malt formulations for the last few years. Isle of Jura 18 Year Old represents the new top-of-the-line offering. It has been aged for a full eighteen years in refill ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Premier Grand Cru Classé Bourdeaux Wine casks. It’s bottled at a respectable 44% ABV, allowing the signature style of Jura Single Malt to shine through.
