Intense and powerful, the 12 year old Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been refined for a long time to reach its peak level of comfort and harmony. Maturation in bourbon casks and finishing in oloroso sherry give it aromas of honey, spice and smoke, exotic fruits, cocoa and citrus fruits that are extremely comforting; a unique complexity of flavors in a powerful and smooth palate, with a finish of freshly ground coffee. A rich, round, subtly smoky whisky of inimitable balance.

Off the coast of Scotland, completely isolated, Jura Island is home to a single distillery bearing its name. On this windswept, wildly beautiful corner of the world, between mountains, lakes and tumultuous waters, it is not easy to make whisky. Yet for two centuries, Jura has been forging extraordinary whiskies, infused with the flavors of its native island; where the entire community participates to focus on a single goal: making the best single malt ever.
Inspired by its history, Jura distillery passionately produces unique whiskies that blend classic Highland style with island malts and a hint of iodine.
