Description
The Jura AMERICAN BOURBON CASK single malt Scotch whisky is an elegant Highland single malt distilled on the remote island of Jura off the west coast of Scotland. The Isle of Jura Distillery is synonymous with characterful, approachable whiskies that combine maritime influence with balanced cask maturation. This bottling is matured exclusively in carefully selected American white oak ex-bourbon casks, resulting in a particularly harmonious and clearly structured bourbon cask matured Scotch whisky.
Bottled at 40%, this single malt Scotch whisky from Scotland is smooth and versatile. The maturation in American white oak provides classic vanilla and oak accents, while the distillate character of the island of Jura is retained. The Jura Bourbon Cask 0.7 litre comes in an attractive gift box and is ideal as an introduction to the world of Isle of Jura whiskies. It is not a cask strength or single cask bottling, but a carefully composed standard bottling with a focus on balance and accessibility.

The Jura American Bourbon Cask Single Malt is an excellent accompaniment to grilled chicken, mildly spiced BBQ dishes or a classic cheeseburger, as its vanilla and oak flavours emphasise the roasted aromas of the food. It also harmonises well with mature Gouda or mild cheddar. In desserts, it is a particularly harmonious accompaniment to apple pie, crème brûlée or vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce. This bourbon cask-matured Scotch whisky also offers a balanced, pleasantly structured and long-lasting enjoyment experience on its own as a digestif after a multi-course meal or as the basis for a classic whisky highball.
