Jura Whisky Releases Jura Rum Cask Finish – Tropical, Fruity, Exotic – All In A Single Malt Whisky!

Jura Rum Cask Finish!

Jura Single Malt whisky has announced the latest addition to its exciting portfolio in the shape of Jura Rum Cask Finish, a fruity, exotic single malt bringing the lively taste of the tropical to its range of whiskies!

Initially matured in American White Oak Ex Bourbon barrels, the spirit went on to conclude its maturation journey in hand selected Caribbean Rum Casks to create a smooth, creamy and fruity finish.

A fruity, exotic single malt bringing the lively taste of the tropical to its range of whiskies!

The rum cask influence gives this rich golden amber single malt an exotic flair. From warm and welcoming aromas of exotic guava and coconut, sugar coated almonds, apricots and a touch of citrus entice the nose. Mouth-wateringly smooth, the taste promises rich and creamy hints of sweet vanilla with fudge coming through, beautifully balanced with layers of enticing fruit sweetness of mango, banana and guava.

Our Jura Cask Editions have been created to showcase cask types in partnership with the Jura distillery character. The flavours offer interesting interpretations of our classic style, making them ideal for those looking to explore new flavours and finishes.

With Jura Rum Cask Finish, the taste experience has been enhanced through the finish to create a beautifully tropical and fruity result. In making this release, we wanted to share a Single Malt that’s easy drinking and great value with compelling character!

The third in the recently introduced Jura Cask Editions, this whisky is presented in a striking sliver carton, with a distinctive design of lush green leaves and tropical flowers celebrating the origin of the Caribbean casks used to finish this whisky.

Summer is on its way, and with it, consumers are seeking fruity, vibrant flavours that they can enjoy both mixed and on their own. Jura Rum Cask Edition offers an easy-sipper that will transport tastebuds to tropical islands by way of the remote Scottish island of Jura – whether in the comfort of a private balcony or garden.

To emphasise the fruity flavours of the release, fans are recommended to try alongside a serve of grilled or glazed pineapple. It is also encouraged to explore the dimensions of flavour in a sharing fruit punch or in a classic ginger beer long serve, swapping rum for 50ml of Jura Rum Cask Finish.

Each bottle of Jura Whisky is a celebration of our island home and embodies the passion of those who make it. This remote Scottish island provides the canvas from which these dedicated islanders take their inspiration, and our distillery provides the means by which to bring this to life through whisky making.

Jura Rum Cask Finish launches initially in the UK in 2021, available in Tesco stores from mid-March at £45 for 1 litre.
