Jura 15 Year Old Sherry Cask is the whisky of quiet confidence, an island malt that bridges the wildness of the sea with the warmth of a fireside dram. Crafted on the remote Isle of Jura, where the community is smaller than the number of deer roaming its hills, this whisky tells a story of patience and place. Matured for fifteen years and finished in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks, it delivers a rare balance between island spice and sherry sweetness, a signature of Jura’s dual nature: rugged yet refined.
