An easy going blog for easy going malts
Jura is that one distillery that people love to hate. Unless you are ex-UK Prime Minister, David Cameron who is out and proud to call Jura his tipple of choice, most of the rest of us are not hunting down that elusive new Jura release. Indeed, I doubt even Dave really likes a Jura but […]
I have reviewed the latest 12 year old from Jura back when I was sent a sample for a Tweet Tasting. The latest selection from the distillery was meant to up the quality and reputation of the single malt portfolio. In my reviews I didn’t think this had been achieved but I thought it would […]
At last we come to the oldest and most expensive one to be newly released. Previously, the oldest was a 16 year old. The 18 however is stronger at 44% ABV but also more expensive at 75 pounds. While the 12 year old was quite expensive for the age conversely this 18 is on the […]

Jura recently released a statement that there entire core range was being discontinued.
