JuraSevenWood(700mL)

<p>A Single Malt true the Jura style with new levels of flavor complexity. </p><p>Not much happens on <em>the island of Jura. </em>This Scottish island just north of Islay has<em> a population of 5000 red deer, but only 200 people. </em>But Jura has long had its namesake Whisky — ever since the Jura Distillery was <em>founded in 1810. </em>The facility fell into a bit of disrepair in the early part of the 1900s, but was resurrected again by Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith in 1963. Things have gone well since then and Jura is now <em>a highly respected Single Malt once again</em> with fans around the world who crave their hybrid island/lowland style.</p><p>It is common knowledge that wood is vastly important to the flavor of aged whiskies. Heaven knows we all spend a lot of time talking about it. With a name like <em>Isle of Jura Seven Wood, </em>you immediately understand that the good folks at the Jura Distillery are taking this concept to <em>an entirely new level. </em></p><p>Yes, it’s made with <em>seven different kinds of casks. </em>This Single Malt has its primary aging in first-fill American white oak ex-Bourbon casks. Then it is finished in six different French oak varieties — Vosges, Bertranges, Jupilles, Allier, Tronçais, and Limousin. Each type of oak imparts a bit of terroir from one of six different forests across France, <em>yielding an interesting complexity. </em></p>
