Isle of Jura Red Wine Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Since the 2018 relaunch of the core Jura single malts, their “Signature Series” has been gradually expanding. Starting in 2020, a subset of “Cask Editions” were added. One of them is the Red Wine Cask Edition. The wine type is not stated, but the finishing is reported to add rich berry flavours. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Jura these days appears to be making bold statements. And often they include broad brush strokes on a selected target: here is the fruit. There is definitely an unfortunate niggle to the finish. But that is more than compensated by the beguiling nose and the vivid delivery and follow-through. Just...Wow! 89 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024
