Jura whisky
launches new unpeated Oloroso sherry
cask finished 12 Year Old exclusively in
Taiwanese market.
 Jura whisky has released a new sherry
finished 12 Year Old single malt which
will be exclusively available in the Taiwanese
market,
the new Jura 12 Year Old Sherry Cask
whisky has been produced using only unpeated spirit
and this is where it differs from the
Jura 12 year old from the Jura core
range which we are familiar with
already, which is produced using some
peated spirit.
The new unpeated Jura 12 Year Old
Sherry Cask single malt
which has been matured in American White
Oak ex-bourbon barrels then finished
using Spanish Sherry casks and as I said
the new release has been created
exclusively for the Taiwanese market and
becomes the latest addition to Jura's
permanent Signature Series.
This latest release from the tiny island
distillery is described by the
distillery as being vibrant and full
of character, like the islanders who
make it. It has been carefully distilled
using Jura’s tall stills
and matured in American White Oak
ex-bourbon barrels before being finished
exclusively in hand selected
aged Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez,
Spain.
Jura tells me that this rich, fruity and vibrant 12 year
old single malt unites the heart of Jura
with the soul of Spain to create a
single malt celebrating the classic Jura
character. With added depth from its
Sherry finish, the lively whisky
perfectly captures the warmest of Jura
welcomes, enhanced by the flair of a
Spanish Sherry finish, promising life in
every drop.
Gregg Glass, Whisky Maker & Blender at
Whyte & Mackay, commented: "In bringing
together the unique passion and
influence of Jura, with the flair and
vibrancy of our Sherry making partners
of Jerez, this 12 Years Old showcases a
richly dark and fruity character for the
Asian market. The new release has a
sweet warmth with rich flavours and
fruity notes which we know will appeal
to those looking to experience a classic
Jura single malt together.
"The classic style of Jura evokes the
early years of modern distillation at
the distillery following its reopening
in 1963; a time when our tall stills and
unpeated malt created a character full
of fruit and vibrancy. It is this
distinctive style which we wanted to
bring to the Taiwanese market on an
exclusive basis, demonstrating our
commitment to introducing innovative new
whiskies in Asia."
Jura say that the new 12 Year Old Sherry Cask is defined
by: "plums and fresh fruit, with toffee,
sweet spices and underlying citrus
notes; capturing both Jura and Spain
perfectly. Sherry soaked raisins and
dark toffee merge with fig, mango,
grilled banana and Seville orange zest.
These beautifully merge and develop into
sweet cassia bark and bergamot, with
coffee and liquorice notes to finish,
creating a vibrant yet warming flavour".
Jura 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Single
Malt whisky has been bottled at 40% ABV
and is available throughout
Taiwan priced at RSP 1050 NT$.
If you want to explore the current Jura whisky range you will find

Jura 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Review
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Warm honey and vanilla to
start, evolving to rich fruit and
toffee. A perfect combination of rich
brioche, apricot, chocolate and almond
appear. Reminiscent aromas of Scottish
cask warehouses combine with classic
Bodegas full of beautifully aging
sherries.
Taste: Richly dark, with sweet,
ripe plum flavours lead to sweet spices
that are enhanced by layers of citrus.
Sherry soaked raisins and dark toffee
merge with fig, mango, grilled banana
and Seville orange zest. These
beautifully merge and develop into sweet
cassia bark, bergamot with coffee and
liquorice notes to finish, creating a
vibrant yet warming flavour.
