Isle of Jura The Road Single Malt Whisky 1,0L 43,6%

Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky 18 years 0.7L 42% The history of the Isle of Jura distillery Isle of Jura is a single malt whisky distillery on the island of Jura in Scotland, Great Britain. It is part of the whisky region of the islands and is located in the village of Craighouse, the only settlement on the quiet island. The name "Jura" translates as red deer, of which around 5000 individuals live on the island and that is with a population of just around 225 people. The island is so remote that it can only be reached by ferry from the neighboring island of Islay, from which it is separated by a narrow strait. It is also worth mentioning that George Orwell wrote his famous work "1984" on the island. The distillery in its current form has been active since 1963, although legal distillation activities on the island have been documented since 1810, extending right up to the First World War. Distillation did not take place until 1958, and activities were finally resumed to create new jobs. The distillery now has 2 wash stills and 2 spirit stills and an annual output of 2,200,000 l. The distillery's water comes from the famous Bhaille Mharghdaidh spring Isle of Jura 18 YO While the Isle of Jura malts used to be heavily peated, a milder tone has been struck here. The Isle of Jura 18 YO is also subtly peated, but has a few other special features such as a unique barrel finishing process. The Isle of Jura 18 YO is first stored in small batch American oak bourbon barrels and is finally finished in red wine barrels from Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux. On the nose, this fruity and spicy whisky shows soft notes of vanilla, honey and caramel accompanied by dried fruits such as plums and dried apricots. The long aftertaste is characterized by coffee, liquorice, cassis and chocolate.

Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky 19 Years The Paps Malt Whisky 0.7L 45.6% Isle of Jura Jura is located on the Isle of Jura, which is on the west coast of Scotland. The history of whisky distillery on the island goes back a long way. Whisky is said to have been produced here as early as the beginning of the 17th century. In 1875, John Ferguson and Sons were named as the official owners, who had to sell the distillery at the beginning of the 20th century after they could no longer pay the rent for the buildings. The distillery stood idle for a while, as new buyers were not found until the middle of the same century. Two locals from the island had a completely new distillery built with the help and financial support of Mackinlay MacPherson and an engineer and architect. They wanted to create more jobs for the locals, but this did not last long. In 1985 the distillery was sold on to Invergordon Distillers and thus came into the possession of Whyte & Mackay. Further changes of ownership followed, and it was finally transferred to the current owner, Emperador International Ltd. The Jura Sherry Cask Collection The Collection is a series of four whiskies from the Isle of Jura house and are named after various characteristics of the island house of the distillery, including The Sound, The Road, The Loch and finally The Paps. Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky 19 Years The Paps Malt Whisky 0.7L 45.6% is a homage to the highest mountain on the island, the Cape of Jura, from which the water used to make the whisky comes. Taste After the Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky has matured for a good 19 years in ex-bourbon barrels, it is then given a special finish through further storage in hand-picked Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels. This rounds off the already impressive taste of the Islay Single Malt Whisky. On the nose you can smell strong aromas of vanilla, a little balsamic vinegar and a hint of baked cake with notes of ginger. The taste is of a warm, spicy whisky. Red wine pears, the sweetness of ripe figs and an aroma of roasted walnuts spread out and harmonize very well with the aromas that were already so inviting on the nose. The finish is also enjoyable and you'll want to take another sip of this excellent malt whisky. Long-lasting and spicy, a pleasant warmth spreads out.

Isle of Jura The Sound Single Malt Whisky 1.0L 42.5% Isle of Jura Distillery The Isle of Jura Distillery is located on the Isle of Jura, an island that belongs to Scotland. Even before the distillery was 'officially' founded by Charles Mackinlay & Company in 1960, a distillery is said to have existed at the same location years earlier, around 1831. After a few changes of ownership, however, following disputes between the Ferguson family and the then owner of the land, the distillery was closed and all the equipment sold. It was only after the new building was built in 1960 and under the management of Charles Mackinlay & Company distilled whisky from the Isle of Jura for the first time in 1963. The Sound - Single Malt Whisky The single malt 'The Sound' is one of the special bottlings that are all geared to the special geographical conditions of the island. After there was already a The Road, which was dedicated to the unpaved road that leads directly to the distillery, there is now 'The Sound'. This reflects the character of the strait on the Gulf of Corryvreckan and the sound of the sea caused by stormy seas.

Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky 28 years 0.7L 47% As you would expect from Isle of Jura products, this limited edition is naturally free of colorants and chill filtration. All individual barrels used for this bottling were carefully selected by Thomas Ewers. The final whisky was ultimately bottled at a powerful 49.7% ABV, which is intended to give the aromas even more power. Tasting The proud maturation period of 28 years is now clearly reflected in the aroma and taste. First, you are overwhelmed by the variety of different aromas on the nose. Only on the palate can these be defined more precisely.

Isle of Jura 12 Years Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 40% Signature Range Series The 12 Years Single Malt is presented in a new guise in the already well-known Signature Range series. The series represents the company's special style. The 12-year-old can safely be classified above the 10-year-old and the Jura Journey with no age statement. This means that it appeals not only to beginners, but also to the odd whisky expert who wants to be inspired by the perfectly balanced aromas. At the beginning there are aromas of fine vanilla, toffee and malt and a subtle hint of pear. The peat smoke then becomes more apparent on the palate, along with notes of iodine, leather and a pinch of salt, although the whisky always appears very soft and non-alcoholic. The aroma of oak wood lingers more in the background, heralding the surprisingly long, soft finish characterized by light peat. Here, too, vanilla, malt and citrus accompany the palate before toasted oak wood takes over.
