Tasting Profile
Nose: Like entering a dimly lit library where aged books mingle with notes of dark berries, roasted nuts, and antique wood polish.
Palate: Dense and dramatic, imagine black cherries drenched in espresso, laced with burnt toffee and spice, with a chewy texture that clings to the senses.
Finish: It leaves with authority. Long, warming, and unapologetically sherried. A cascade of oak, dried fruit, and cocoa that lingers like the echo of a storm.

Production Details
This whisky comes from Jura’s “Boutique Barrels” series, single cask, cask strength, no filtration. It’s not just how it’s made, it’s why: to showcase raw distillery character, shaped by time, terroir, and the wild Atlantic climate.

Perfect For
An intimate night of storytelling with close friends or solo reflections by firelight. This isn’t a crowd-pleaser; it’s a soul stirrer.

Expert Notes
Limited to a single sherry cask from 1993, this bottle is a collector’s relic and a flavor bomb in one. Revered by aficionados for its depth and rarity, it's a snapshot of Jura’s darker, moodier side.

“Didn’t expect to love it this much. It’s like sipping a Gothic novel.”

“Took it to a tasting party, no one wanted to drink anything else.”

Interesting Fact
Jura has more red deer than people and only one road. That sense of isolation? It’s in every drop.

Serving Suggestions
Add a splash of water and watch it open like a secret drawer, suddenly there’s cinnamon, orange peel, and marzipan where there was once only shadow.

Distillery Background
The Isle of Jura distillery is the beating heart of a remote island with a population barely above 200. Reopened in the 1960s to revive the island’s spirit-making legacy, Jura thrives on contradiction: ancient yet modern, smooth yet wild. Their Boutique Barrels series is where they go off-script, and it's glorious.
