Product Information

I’m choosing to believe this connotes that I’m not as pretentious as I may appear — but perhaps that’s pretentious to make that assumption? The aim of this set was clear; to point beyond the whisky and the distillery, to the island on which it is produced.

Isle of Jura use some of the tallest stills in Scotland for their distilling and although getting them to the remote island posed a few issues, we think it was well worth the effort.

The ultimate product is a well-balanced blend of Jura's signature gently smokey flavours, blended with traces of sweetness, spice, and dark fruit.The hated of Jura is a bit of a tired joke in whisky circles but one that seems to trip off people’s tongue on an almost daily basis.
