Using taller stills means that Jura’s whiskies are inherently lighter in flavor and character and so more approachable and a great starting point for anyone just learning about whisky. Jura Journey is aged in American Oak ex-Bourbon casks which not only enhance the lightness of touch but add just a touch of character and firmness. There is just a touch of smokiness behind attractive citrus flavours. Hours away from the Scottish mainland in 1963 the island of Jura's 200 inhabitants decided to rebuild the once thriving distillery to boost their economy and what a job they've done. Since then Jura have become known for producing expertly crafted whisky at an award winning standard. Not bad at all for a place where the deer outnumber humans 25 to 1! Just a hint of smokiness but the main characteristic are the abundant citrus notes.
