Jura 2012 / 13 Year Old / Oloroso Sherry / James Eadie Island Whisky – Characterful Island Whisky at a Considered Price

Discover the rich, rewarding character of Jura 2012 / 13 Year Old / Oloroso Sherry / James Eadie Island Whisky, a carefully finished single malt that offers impressive depth without an extravagant price tag. Bottled at 53.7% ABV, this 70cl expression brings together Jura’s naturally elegant island style and the warming influence of a European oak Oloroso sherry hogshead.

Distilled in 2012 and matured for 13 years, this whisky was given an additional 11-month finish in an Oloroso sherry hogshead. That extra period in seasoned oak adds layers of dried fruit, gentle nuttiness, and polished sweetness, creating a whisky with plenty of personality while remaining easy to appreciate. It is a smart choice for drinkers looking to explore independent bottlings, cask-strength whisky, or sherry-influenced single malts at an accessible price.

A carefully finished Jura with plenty to offer

The first impression is elegant and inviting. Fresh apple notes bring a light, fruity lift, while sultana adds a deeper sweetness with a soft, raisined character. Toasted almond contributes a delicate nutty note, helping to balance the fruit and giving the whisky a satisfying sense of warmth.

At 53.7% ABV, this is a full-strength whisky with enough intensity to reward slow sipping. It can be enjoyed neat for a more concentrated experience, or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas and soften the texture. The result is a balanced and characterful dram that offers interest from the first pour to the last.
