Jura Red Wine Cask Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

I used to enjoy Jura. It was one of my favourite distilleries when I first got serious about whisky 15 years ago following an innocuous Rabbie Burns night where I was introduced to scotch via a bottle of Famous Grouse. I’d only stayed in my local Canadian whisky sandbox until this point, then I began exploring Scottish exports with more frequency and intent. I followed a common path, starting with the typical sherried malts of Aberlour and Balvenie, dipping my toes into the then-affordable Lagavulin 16, the odd Old Pulteney, and then Jura.

It’s intense and weighty, balancing sweet and bitter (not sour) notes. The mouthfeel and weight on my palate is very similar to the official releases of Highland Park’s cask strength releases, albeit significantly less fiery. Jura's Red Wine Cask Finish is a fruity, full-bodied single malt designed to be shared with friends and loved ones. As a gift to celebrate special occasions or as an after-dinner treat. It presents drinkers with an opportunity to discover something different beyond the charming, silky flavours of the Jura whisky they know. What a cask. Based on my experiences, I’m leaning heavily towards an oloroso sherry cask. The initial smell had me leaning towards a red wine cask but after tasting it, this must be a quality sherry cask with a full-term maturation, or at least a several year finish maturation period.

If I can pass on any advice it would be: don’t forever write-off certain distilleries or whiskies because of bad experiences or changes in quality. Perhaps you’ve evolved and matured, as anyone would expect with time enjoying whisky, or you might not be connecting with their official releases and may need to try alternatives. These may be distillery-exclusive casks or different expressions from well-reputed independent bottlers that may present the whisky in a better light. The single malt has been matured in American White Oak ex-Bourbon barrels, finished in hand-selected European red wine casks, which marries the island malt with the distinctive regional flavours of the casks.Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates.
