The Jura 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Chinese New Year 2025 Edition is where island spirit meets celebration. Born on the remote Isle of Jura, where only one distillery and one road serve the entire island, this whisky carries both the wild beauty of its home and the warmth of the Lunar New Year. Wrapped in striking red and gold, it honors prosperity, togetherness, and the joy of renewal. The whisky within, matured in American white oak and finished in rich Oloroso sherry casks, is Jura at its most elegant: smooth, complex, and quietly powerful.

Production Details:
This 12-year-old single malt is first aged in ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak, developing its signature smoothness and creamy vanilla base. It is then finished in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez, Spain, where it takes on rich layers of fruit, spice, and dark sweetness. For the Chinese New Year 2025 Edition, Jura presents this expression in a limited-edition red and gold gift box, a design symbolizing luck, unity, and new beginnings, echoing the harmony found in every drop.
