It is a strong choice for enjoying at home, sharing with friends, or giving as a thoughtful gift to someone who appreciates island-style whisky.

Why Choose Jura 17 Year Old Second Murderer?

• 17 years of maturation: Time in cask helps create a whisky with added character and a smooth, developed profile.
• Distinctive island style: Peat smoke provides a gently earthy edge, while sweet and floral notes keep the profile inviting.
• Rich 48.5% ABV bottling: The higher strength brings extra presence and allows the whisky to be enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water.
• Generous 70cl bottle: A practical size for personal enjoyment, entertaining, or presenting as a special gift.
• Memorable Macbeth theme: The Second Murderer presentation adds storytelling appeal to an already characterful whisky.

A Well-Balanced Tasting Experience

The first impression combines the unmistakable presence of peat smoke with a welcoming sense of sweetness. Vanilla and honey add a soft, comforting quality, making the whisky easy to return to. A light floral character brings freshness and keeps the profile from feeling too heavy. Together, these notes create a pleasing balance between smoky depth and gentle sweetness.

At 48.5% ABV, this Jura whisky has enough strength to stand out in a glass, yet it remains flexible in the way it can be served. Try it neat to appreciate its natural character, or add a few drops of water to open the aromas and soften the intensity. It can also be enjoyed slowly over ice, depending on personal preference. Each serving offers an opportunity to explore the contrast between smoke, vanilla, honey, and delicate floral notes.

Excellent Value for Whisky Enthusiasts

A well-aged whisky does not need to be difficult to enjoy, and the Jura 17 Year Old Second Murderer demonstrates that beautifully.

The 70cl format also makes it a worthwhile addition to a home whisky collection. It offers enough whisky to savour over time or share during relaxed evenings, tastings, and celebrations. With its combination of age, flavour, and presentation, it provides an attractive balance between everyday enjoyment and special-occasion appeal.
