About this deal

Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. In the glass, Jura 18 is honeyed, with some reddish tones. On the nose, it follows the style of the Signature Series range. It is quite light and herbaceous, with white grape notes. There are also sweet fragrances of milk chocolate and toasted coffee. With a splash of water, there are some slightly peated aromas and a cherry touch. Fast forward to 2018 and I was intrigued to hear that the brand was launching a complete new range with a new house style. I’ve spent the last couple of years getting acquainted with the new releases and while I haven’t become a member of the fan club or anything, I can definitely see the brand taking steps in the right direction. Full disclosure: I was sent the whiskies featured in this article free of charge. As always I will strive to give an honest opinion on the quality of the drams and the value for money they represent.

That change arrived with its new, revamped range: Signature Series. Jura 18 year old is the top of the range. Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose.

The brainchild of Jura’s distillery manager Graham Logan, it marks a hugely significant step for Jura: ‘A new house style of whisky is not for the faint hearted but it tells you where we are now and how committed we are to Jura, the community and our whiskies for the long term. Combining two styles of whisky is a fairly unorthodox approach, but one that we know is right for Jura. We can’t wait for people to try and it and see for themselves.’ No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then.

Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. Jura wanted to update its brand to get to a new target, and it may be working for them. A fresh brand can get to a new consumer and open their eyes to the whisky world. But, in the process, they forgot about whisky lovers, because the new range is not for them. Jura 18 Year Old should be the icing of the cake, but it doesn’t get to the level of its small brother, Jura Seven Wood (which, for me, is the best whisky in the range). Jura 18 is just another whisky for beginners, despite the upper-middle age statement.In 1810, seeing a clear demand for whisky, local kingpin Archibald Campbell decided to build a distillery on the Island, initially calling it Small Isles Distillery in reference to the numerous small islands in Craighouse Bay where the distillery is located. Not short of a few bob, the largest landowner on the island created an engineering marvel using only gravity to move liquid between the production areas. Small Isles produced a heavy, smoky whisky similar to those made on neighbouring Islay and took its water from the dark, peaty Loch A-Bhaile Mhargaidh, 300m above Craighouse. This single malt, created with a blend of both peated and unpeated spirit, has been aged in American Oak barrels and finished in red wine barrels. The 18-Year-Old is matured in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux barrels. When compared to their old 10-year-old Origins release, there’s more life and vibrancy here, both on the nose and the palate. The addition of that little wisp of smoke and a short sherry finish has added layers of flavour that simply weren’t there before. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

Speaking of the distillery’s core range, I’ve had a couple of samples in the cabinet for a few months now. My recent visit finally inspired me to break them open. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Our trip took in Lussa Gin and Deer Island Rum but in truth, it was the whisky distillery I was most looking forward to. Sadly, tours aren’t possible yet but we were able to enjoy a few drams in their new tasting room. Which, it has to be said, looks absolutely fantastic. We worked our way through some of the core range and even tasted some of the sherry that had been used to finish them. It was an informative and enjoyable visit that reinforced my belief that Jura is making progress.Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Whisky making on Jura has a long history. The Duriachs (as inhabitants of Jura are known) enjoyed a long period of unhindered home distillation before this was banned in the Excise Act of the 1781. The islanders, however, thought very little of the ban and many of the estimated 250 pot stills remained active after the imposition, and considering the island’s extreme unget-at-able-ness, it was going to take a very determined excise man to actually enforce the act.
