Jura Launches 2 New Expressions in U.S.

Seven Wood and 18 Year Old are part of the new Jura Signature Series. 

The award-winning Jura 10 which launched exclusively in the US in January 2017 will be joined by the inspiring Jura Seven Wood and a new modern classic in Jura 18.

With sweetness from American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels and a hint of subtle smoke, each whisky in the Jura signature Series is further enhanced by specially selected casks from around Europe. This combination sees Highland and Island styles combine to create a distinctive, welcoming character.

Seven Wood is initially matured in first-fill American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels.  It is then further enhanced by six hand selected French Oak casks – Limousin, Tronçais, Allier, Vosges, Jupilles & Les Bertranges casks.

These casks have never held any wine prior to being procured by our whisky making team.  Through these, we find increased complexity and rare tropical richness from the French oak to develop a unique style of single malt whisky.  The result is a more intense flavour experience, amplified by a higher ABV of 42%, showcasing peach aromas, candied orange to taste and a subtle smoke finish.

Jura 18 is an elegant single malt which unites the knowledge and experience of the whisky making team with the skill of fine wine making to create an intense character, entirely unique to this Jura expression.

Matured for 18 years in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels, this single malt is then finished in superior Premier Grand Cru Classé French red wine barriques to create a rich and full-bodied character, with refined smoky notes on the palate. With an ABV of 44%, this is a rich spirit with aromas of toffee, black forest fruits to taste and a bitter chocolate to finish.
