A Fresh Perspective: Jura Distillery’s Latest Release

Jura’s distillery is not just a whisky producer, but the beating heart of its island community. Established in 1810 and reborn in 1963, the distillery has played a vital role in bringing life and prosperity back to the Isle of Jura. Almost every family on the island has a member connected to the whisky-making process, whether directly at the distillery or through the booming whisky tourism. The passion and dedication of the islanders can be tasted in every bottle, making Jura whisky a true reflection of its people.

One of the standout features of Perspective No.1 is its innovative cask maturation process. Initially aged in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky takes on the classic fruity balance that Jura is known for. It is then finished in select aged Oloroso sherry casks, amplifying the stone fruit flavours and deepening the complexity. This thoughtful blending of cask types highlights the distillery’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, resulting in a whisky that is both rich in tradition and full of new character.
