Jura to
launch Standing Stone 30 year old in
time for Christmas.
 Jura
distillery has added a 30 year old
single malt whisky to its collection.
Called the Jura Standing Stone, or
‘Camas an Staca’ in Gaelic, the new
expression takes its name from the
largest of Jura's eight standing stones.
Known as ‘The Bay of the Protecting
Rocks’ this imposing 12 foot obelisk is
reputedly all that remains of a stone
circle laid some 3,000 years ago by the
earliest Diurachs to appease the
spirits.
The iconic Jura bottle is presented in a
beautiful display case that opens its
doors to showcase the bottle and reveal
the story of the whisky. Meticulously
detailed, the bottle is in-filled with
copper wax, with a matching metal
plaque.
Jura ‘Camus an Staca’ will be available
for purchase in selected whisky stores
across the world from December at RRP
£350 per 70cl, 44% ABV.
Jura distillery manager, Willie Cochrane
said
"The standing stones have mysteriously
stood the test of time on the island, so
it’s only fitting that we create an aged
whisky in their honour.
"The whisky’s long maturation in
American white oak gives the spirit a
quiet serenity, whilst its three years
spent finessing in the finest Oloroso
Sherry butts from Gonzalez Byass gives
this spirit a commanding finish."

Jura 30 Standing Stone Tasting Notes
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose: The seductive nuances of
sandalwood, tuberose, lime and spicy
patchouli soon usher in hints of
vanilla, Java coffee, tangerine and
crushed Ogen melon. Whispers of sea
spray, spicy apple and honeyed figs
linger in the background.
Taste:
Fleshy oranges, tangy liquorice, coconut
and sweet pineapple are followed by
orange rind, black cherries, dark toffee
and sun dried raisins.
