Product description
In spring 2018, Jura Distillery completely changed its commercial offer, replacing the previous releases with ten new ones, presented in slightly changed bottles and with more attractive labels.
Our attention was drawn to the 28-year-old edition, part of the new “Prestige Range” collection, exclusively distributed by Travel Retail. The whisky was aged in white American oak barrels and then finished in Amoroso sherry butts (a sherry similar in style to Oloroso, although slightly sweeter). Jura 28 years old is bottled with a natural colour and without chill filtration at 47%. Jura Distillery produces around 2.4 million litres of distillate per year, and the brand sells two million bottles per year.
