Jura Single Malt Whisky celebrates the effects
of time on the island of Jura with aged single malt
Following a monumental full rebrand and global
re-launch earlier this year, Jura Single
Malt Whisky, has revealed the development of its new Prestige Range,
further showcasing and exploring the brand’s new house style.
In March 2018, Jura Single Malt Whisky made
waves with the launch of ten new whiskies available across two new permanent
ranges for the domestic and travel retail markets, as well as an innovative
bottle and carton design. The malt whisky maker revealed a new house style
which for the first time brings together sweet and smoky flavours in each
expression.
With a fantastic response from whisky fans the
world over, the new range of rare and aged expressions celebrates Jura’s wealth
of historic stocks. In addition, each expression will be in keeping with Jura’s
new house style, matured in American White Oak ex-Bourbon barrels before being
finished and enhanced by European Sherry casks, to deliver a sweet whisky with
a subtle smoke.
One of the first expressions to be revealed is
the Jura 28 Year Old, a new permanent expression, which will be available
annually in limited quantities in global travel retail. This super aged malt
whisky embodies the ingenuity of Jura’s whisky makers through the years.
This characterful single malt is matured in
freshly emptied American White Oak, ex-Bourbon barrels and sits patiently for
many years, protected from the island elements. It develops a sweetness with a
touch of peat, before being finished in aged Amoroso sherry butts, revealing a
deep aroma and flavour, with notes of lemon and vanilla on the nose and coffee,
almond and fruit to taste.
Bottled at 47% ABV, non-chill filtered and
natural colour, this release is available as a travel retail exclusive with an
RSP of £399. The bottle is packaged in an eye-catching display case,
making it a welcome addition for collectors and whisky fans alike.
Gregg Glass, Whisky Maker & Blender said: “Time has made Jura the
island it is today, and our Prestige Range is a fitting way to celebrate our
rich heritage, and the role the distillery has played on our island home
throughout the years.
“This 28 Year Old expression has been created
with the changing landscape of Jura in mind. With flavours of coffee,
pineapple, almond and fruit cake, it is the liquid embodiment of a unique
moment in time. We can’t wait to share these stories with our growing, global
community”
Jura 28 Year Old will be available in duty free retailers
globally from late December 2018, including select World Duty Free ‘World of
Whiskies’ stores, RSP £399.

NOTES TO EDITORS
About Jura:
Jura is an island nestled off the West Coast of
Scotland. With only one road, one pub, one distillery and 200 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.
