About this deal

With less than 200 people living on the island, it's at the heart of their community and sits in the middle of Craighouse, the island's biggest town.

It really does take a while due to the ever changing flavours which start off full of fruit but then settle into a deeper, pepper taste which compliments the fruit perfectly. Light peat, brown sugar and orange on the nose leads to smooth burnt toffee taste, with softer citrus and coffee on the finish. Nose Zesty wafts of fresh lemon peel and candied orange open things up followed by mint leaves and blossom.All the flavour notes are there but it feels like they’ve been added as some sort of concentrate and that the whisky is a fiery, youthful one which has had this and colouring added to fool someone. The driver will input your year of birth into their device and may then require an ID check to complete the age verification process. Jura is Norse for “deer island” and on the Hebridean island of Jura the red deer outnumber the human residents by about thirty to one.

Winding through lush countryside and tracing the shores, it truly is a beautifully scenic route to our distillery. I am disappointed as Jura was a good distillery once, but this has non of the complexity or warmth that I remember from 15 years ago. Our boxes are made of 100% recyclable cardboard and our protective honeycomb paper wrap keeps your package safe and significantly reduces our need for plastic. I initially tried this neat and the nose was smokey with a sweetness not unlike peat, a little bit of water allowed the chocolate and coffee through as well as hints of ginger and orange with the smoke more in the background.Delmé-Evans was most involved with Jura, however,remaining on the board until his retirement in 1975. Jura whisky is available in a variety of single malts and vatted malts and Jura Superstition is a personal favourite amongst the staff here at Hard To Find Whisky. With every sip of the rye-spiced richness, you experience the bright and characterful spirit of Jura.

Found a bottle of the old 10 in my dad's cupboard and I prefer the newer version as the tastes are kind of more separated, whereas the old was molded into one. Part of the new core range of whiskies launched by Isle of Jura in early 2018, this 10 year old expression takes the place of Jura Origin. Today, almost every family on the island has a member who works in our distillery, with our distillery or in whisky-related tourism. With water it was much smoother, very chocolatey, hints of coffee and black pepper again after a while. Proper Scottish porridge – a pinch of salt and rich oats – stirred through with a spoon of decadently sweet Strawberry jam and sprinkled with raisins.Matured in American ex-bourbon barrels and enriched by Premier Grand Cru Classé red wine barriques, this 18-year-old is bottled at 44% ABV. Matured in American white oak ex-bourbon and hand selected American Rye barrels, the casks deliver depth and complexity to this 14 year old Single Malt with layered spice, aromatic, herbal and floral qualities. Palate: Oily and moreish with spices - cinnamon and cloves - with an underlying salted caramel depth. The new distillery's architect was William Delmé-Evans, who had previously been involved with Tullibardine and later went on to build Glenallachie.
