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.
