New Jura 10
Year Old Oloroso sherry finished whisky
now available in the US.
 Isle
of Jura whisky has announced the launch
of a new Jura 10 year old single malt
whisky expression in the US.
So what is different about the new Jura
10 US expression I hear you ask, well it
was matured in First Fill ex-Bourbon
Casks and then finished in Oloroso
Sherry casks where the Jura Origin 10
year old expression available here in
the UK is matured in ex-Bourbon casks
but has no sherry finish. Hopefully the
combination of First Fill Bourbon casks
followed by the sherry finish for the
new US 10 year old expression has
injected some life into the Island malt
which the UK 10 although a good whisky
it is lacking slightly.
"The launch of the new Jura 10
celebrates our heritage of
whisky-making," said Graham Logan, Jura
Distillery Manager. "The craft of
producing great whisky has been at the
heart of Jura's close-knit community for
hundreds of years and we look forward to
sharing the long-standing traditions and
unmistakable flavours of Jura 10's
island home with the world."
While many distilleries create either
peated or unpeated whiskies, Jura 10
marries together the best of both for a
truly unique Island Single Malt that is
subtly smoky with a sweet Sherry cask
finish. It is matured for ten years in
American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels
with an aged Oloroso Sherry cask finish.
Jura 10 is available at retailers
throughout the US with a suggested
retail price of $54.99 per 750ml bottle.
You will also find the current Jura
whisky range available from whisky
specialist shops such as

Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Aromas of fruit, cracked pepper and dark chocolate.
Taste: Nectarines, ginger and freshly ground coffee on the
palate.
Finish: A subtle touch of smoke on the finish.
Comment:
With its rich and rounded balance of
subtle smoky notes and sweet Sherry cask
finish, Jura 10 serves as a beautiful
welcome to the Island and its whisky for
those new to Scotch.
