Jura 18 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Jura 18 Year Old is an Island single malt from Isle of Jura Distillery on the Hebridean island of Jura — one of Scotland's most isolated distilleries, producing a lightly peated whisky with the maritime coastal character of an island location and the depth of 18 years in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks.
Jura is separated from Islay by the narrow Sound of Islay but produces a fundamentally different whisky — unpeated to lightly peated rather than the heavy peat of Islay's southern distilleries. The 18-year expression draws on American oak ex-bourbon primary maturation followed by Oloroso sherry finishing, producing a rounded, complex island single malt with dark fruit, spice, and subtle maritime character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Jura heavily peated like Islay whisky?
No — Jura produces a lightly peated to unpeated style, fundamentally different from the heavily peated southern Islay distilleries despite being geographically adjacent. The island character comes from the coastal location rather than heavy peat smoke.
How does Jura 18 Year compare to the core Jura 10 Year?
Eight additional years of maturation in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks produces significantly more complexity — richer dried fruit, more integrated oak, deeper sherry influence, and a longer finish. The 18-year is the premium serious expression versus the more accessible 10-year entry point.
