This expression gets its layered character from initial maturation in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels followed by a finishing period in Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Jerez, Spain, producing a profile that balances malty sweetness with subtle island peat smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Isle of Jura, Island, Scotland  |  Style: Double Cask Single Malt  |  Distillery: Isle of Jura\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Isle of Jura Distillery sits on one of Scotland's most remote inhabited islands in the Inner Hebrides, owned by Whyte \u0026amp; Mackay. The Double Cask expression is made from 100% malted barley and undergoes a two-stage maturation: first in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez, Spain. This dual-cask approach layers the bourbon barrel's vanilla and honey notes with the sherry cask's dried fruit and chocolate richness, while a thread of Jura's characteristic light peat smoke runs throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich malt and honey lead the way, followed by an edge of dark chocolate and subtle peat smoke.

Subtle, mouth-coating peat smoke builds alongside saltiness, bitter coffee, pepper, and ginger.

A single ice cube tames the sweetness and brings the peat smoke forward. In a Rob Roy, the sherry-cask richness pairs naturally with sweet vermouth. A Penicillin is a strong match, where the subtle peat plays off honey-ginger syrup and lemon. A Blood and Sand also works well, as the dried fruit character holds up alongside cherry liqueur and orange juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eBest For\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExploring Island single malts beyond Islay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing someone to lightly peated Scotch whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA weeknight dram that rewards attention without demanding it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGifting a whisky drinker who favors sherry-finished expressions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Jura Double Cask taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e It delivers creamy dark chocolate, raisin, honey, and peach, layered with subtle peat smoke, bitter coffee, and a coastal saltiness.
