About this deal

On the palate, the whisky is smooth and full-bodied, with flavors of sweet toffee and vanilla, followed by a warm, spicy finish that lingers delightfully. The rum cask finish is evident in the overall profile of the whisky, but it is not overpowering, which makes it a perfect choice for those who are new to rum-finished whiskies. While suitable for any whisky lovers, the affordable price of this whisky makes it ideal for those looking for a present or anyone on a budget. You won’t be disappointed by the flavour and the spiciness adds and extra level of depth you don’t get with generic whiskies. Final Thoughts The rum cask influence gives this rich golden amber single malt an exotic flair. From warm and welcoming aromas of exotic guava and coconut, sugar coated almonds, apricots and a touch of citrus entice the nose. Mouth-wateringly smooth, the taste promises rich and creamy hints of sweet vanilla with fudge coming through, beautifully balanced with layers of enticing fruit sweetness of mango, banana and guava. On the nose, it offers notes of guava and coconut, sugar-coated almonds, apricots and a touch of citrus. The palate features vanilla and fudge, with hints of mango, banana and guava. On the palate this whisky has an instant luscious and juicy feel. Those tropical fruits from the nose, particularly the pineapple and peach, are expressive and have a delicious vibrancy. These notes are supported by an increasingly influential suggestion of bittersweet malted barley and a hint of soft and gentle distant peat smoke.

The finish is short and sweet. The fruitiness fades and allows the malt, mild peat smoke and warming spices to come through. This also has the effect of giving more prominence to the golden syrup and honey, but then even these are gone. First and foremost, I have to say that this is an exceptional whisky. The Jura distillery has always been known for its quality single malt, and this cask edition does not disappoint. This is especially due to its affordable price. Taste, Palate, and Nose Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.The rum cask finish adds a distinct and delicious sweetness to the whisky that perfectly complements its natural smoothness. The nose is pleasantly aromatic, with notes of toffee and vanilla, and a subtle hint of spice. I particularly enjoyed how well-balanced this whisky is. The sweetness of the rum finish is perfectly balanced by the natural smoothness of the Jura single malt, resulting in a whisky that is neither too sweet nor too dry. This balance makes it a versatile whisky that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods. Who Is This For?

Each bottle of Jura Whisky is a celebration of our island home and embodies the passion of those who make it. This remote Scottish island provides the canvas from which these dedicated islanders take their inspiration, and our distillery provides the means by which to bring this to life through whisky making. Then comes the next layer of sweet and fruity characteristics - sultana, green apple and a twist of blood orange peel combine well with the golden syrup and floral honey from the nose, plus icing sugar. There are also notes of vanilla, dessicated coconut and a good pinch of baking spices (especially cinnamon). Late hints of powdered ginger and cocoa are joined by a drying grass-like quality, which is most reminiscent of raw sugar cane and straw. Bottled at 40% ABV, the new Jura whisky was originally matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before being finished in Caribbean rum casks. The Cask Editions series showcases the connection between the land and spirit, bringing together the distinctive regional flavors of selected European wine cases to the distillery’s island malt. Earlier this year, Jura unveiled the first expression in the range, Jura Red Wine Cask. You are responsible for all activities through your account.
