Jura 1988 23 años Single Malt Whisky

Jura: A Remarkable Island Revival Located on Scotland's remote Isle of Jura, this eponymous distillery has become one of Scotch whisky's most impressive success stories. Closed and hidden since 1901, it was resurrected in 1960 through passionate local support, emerging from near-extinction with completely new equipment. In the past decade, single malt sales have surged 150% to 1.7 million bottles annually worldwide—extraordinary growth for a distillery that once faced closure. Production runs seven days a week since 2011, with 28 mashes weekly yielding 2.3 million liters of new make spirit in 2019, including one month of peated whisky at 45ppm. The facility features a 5-ton semi-lauter mash tun, four stainless steel washbacks (54-hour fermentation), and two still sets—the second tallest in Scotland. The 2018 core range includes Journey (American oak), 10 Year Old (Oloroso sherry cask), 12 Year Old (Oloroso cask), Seven Wood (seven French oak and bourbon casks), and 18 Year Old (red wine cask), all incorporating Jura's signature peated malt. Travel retail exclusives The Sound, Road, Loch, and Paps are PX sherry cask finished, while The Bay (12 years) is Asia travel retail only. Special releases include 2019's Jura Time (21-year peated cask) and limited editions: 1988/1989 Port cask vintages, Jura Tide (21 years, new American oak), French Oak, and Two One One Two (13 years, Chinkapin oak—honoring the island's 212 residents). Owner Emperador Inc. recently renovated Dalmore's visitor center with Jura's visitor experience upgrade planned for next year.
