The Crushed Grape

Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Bourbon Cask Edition

Regular price £32.95

From the remote shores of the Isle of Jura comes a whisky that captures the island’s wild beauty and welcoming spirit. Crafted at the Jura Distillery, founded in 1810 and rebuilt in 1963, this expression is a tribute to the craftsmanship and resilience of a small island community that has kept the art of whisky-making alive for generations.

The Bourbon Cask Edition is fully matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, allowing Jura’s naturally smooth spirit to develop layers of creamy vanilla, honey, and soft spice. Gentle notes of tropical fruit and a whisper of island smoke bring depth and balance, creating a whisky that is both elegant and approachable.

Produced by Whyte & Mackay, Jura remains a symbol of island tradition and quiet innovation - a distillery where time, tide, and craftsmanship come together in harmony. The Bourbon Cask Edition embodies that legacy: warm, refined, and unmistakably Jura.

Overview & Distillery

Jura Single Malt – Bourbon Cask Edition showcases the lighter, fruit-forward side of this island distillery’s signature style. Fully matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, this expression delivers a smooth balance of creamy vanilla, honeyed sweetness, and soft tropical fruit, lifted by a gentle touch of island smoke. Bottled at 40% ABV, it’s approachable yet distinctive — a whisky that captures the essence of Jura’s coastal character while highlighting the influence of bourbon oak. Mellow, bright, and subtly complex, it’s perfect for both newcomers to single malt and seasoned drinkers who appreciate easy-drinking refinement.

The Jura Distillery, founded in 1810 and rebuilt in 1963, stands on the remote Isle of Jura, just off Scotland’s west coast. Despite being home to fewer than 250 residents, Jura has gained international recognition for producing whiskies that bridge the gap between the peated malts of neighbouring Islay and the softer Highland styles. Using tall copper stills and lightly peated malt, Jura crafts whiskies known for their smoothness, gentle smoke, and distinctive maritime character.

Owned by Whyte & Mackay, Jura continues to celebrate its island heritage through its Cask Editions range, each showcasing a different cask influence. The Bourbon Cask Edition embodies the spirit of the island — warm, welcoming, and shaped by nature — delivering a classic combination of oak sweetness and coastal freshness that defines Jura’s enduring appeal.
