Jura Welcome to Jura A few miles off the West Coast of Scotland you'll find our Island; isolated, sometimes wild yet always beautiful. With approximately 200 Diurachs – the Gaelic name for the inhabitants – living on the island, most everyone there knows someone who works at Jura. The Isle of Jura distillery is located so close to the island of Islay that they often participate in the annual 'Feis Ile' whisky festival of the Islay distilleries. Since 1810, this unique island malt has been our greatest endeavour and our greatest reward, its creation on the heart of an unbreakable bond between our Island, our people and our whisky.

This gift pack includes one 70cl bottle of Jura 10 Year Old and two elegant whisky glasses emblazoned with the Jura logo.

Some casks will previously have been used to mature oloroso, fino or amontillado sherries; some will have contained bourbon and some will be oak. It is a natural drink, a distillation of the riches with which Scotland is so abundantly endowed – of fields of golden barley and wheat; of clear waters tumbling down glens of granite and over moors of peat; and of the cool, pure air of Scotland. The distillery draws its water from Loch a'Bhaile-Mhargaidh' (the market loch), a thousand feet (300m) above Craighouse, the island's only village.uk accepts no liability for inaccuracies or misstatements about products by manufacturers or other third parties. It starts with aging in American White Oak Bourbon Barrels before being finished off in Oloroso Sherry casks. This has a light golden colour with a nose that is clean and fresh with a hint of sea salt almonds and spice notes are also present.

This is now my 3rd bottle of Jura 10 in as little as 5 weeks, that in it's self should tell you it's good, but if not allow me to explain why I like it so much. Until 1831 and the advent of the patent still, all the whisky produced in Scotland was of the malt variety. Once the blender has selected his single whiskies, he will nose them as new spirit fresh from the stills, to ensure they are up the required standard. Jura 10 Year Old A whisky only Jura could make, born of our island and still produced today in a bottle originally shaped to withstand the roughest of journeys from our home. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.Now, there are two kinds of whisky: malt whisky, used essentially in the creation of blended whiskies, or bottled in small proportions as a single malt; and grain whisky, which is combined with malt whisky to create the famous blends.

In practice, most Scotch whisky matures for much longer – from five to fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years and sometimes longer. This is known as the “marriage” – the period during which each component whisky harmonises with the others. He will continue to nose them throughout maturation, until he is content that they should be taken forward.The General Wine Company is a family-owned and operated wine merchant in Liphook, Hampshire, England. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The “middle cut” is collected by the stillman, only when he is personally satisfied that it has reached a high enough standard. The resultant wort is fermented to produce the wash which then passes into the massive, continuously operating, two-columned Coffey or patent still. It’s got all you want from an every day whisky, chocolate, raisins and smoke, orange and coffee if you add a teaspoon of water.
