Jura Origin 10-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch — 750ml | 40% ABV
A Rebirth of the Island’s Distilling Heritage Jura Origin is the flagship expression of the Isle of Jura Distillery, representing the "rebirth" of the island's distilling tradition in 1963. This Single Malt Scotch is aged for a full decade in ex-bourbon American White Oak barrels, resulting in a profile that is notably lighter and more approachable than the heavily peated whiskies of neighboring Islay. It is characterized by its signature "Island" style: a balance of coastal sweetness, subtle spice, and a very delicate wisp of smoke.
Craftsmanship and Maturation Produced on the remote Isle of Jura, this whisky benefits from maturation in a maritime climate, which imparts a subtle salinity to the spirit. The 10-year aging process in charred bourbon wood allows the distillery's light, fruity base to develop rich layers of honey and vanilla. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), it is designed for a smooth, easy-sipping experience, whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or as a premium base for a Bobby Burns cocktail.
