Jura Whisky Releases New Rum Cask Finish
The Scottish brand Jura Single Malt whisky recently announced its latest addition to its portfolio: Jura Rum Cask Finish.
This single malt is said to be fruity, exotic and brings in the lively taste of the tropics to its range of whiskies, according to the distillery.
The spirit is first matured in American white oak, ex-bourbon barrels before finishing its maturation process in hand-selected Caribbean rum casks to create what’s seen as smooth, creamy and fruity finish.
Official tasting notes indicate the rum cask influence gives this single malt a warm and welcoming aroma of exotic guava and coconut, sugar-coated almonds, apricots and some citrus. The smooth taste has rich and creamy hints of sweet vanilla with fudge coming through, balanced with layers of fruit sweetness from mango, banana and guava.
