Final Thoughts
The Bodega showcases Arran’s richness through full sherry cask maturation. A bold, indulgent whisky for sherry cask lovers, balancing fruit with richness. Located off Scotland’s west coast, Jura Distillery was founded in 1810 and revitalized in 1963, bringing whisky-making back to the remote Isle of Jura. With only one road, one pub, and one distillery, Jura is as distinctive as its location. Known for its versatile style that ranges from gentle sweetness to subtle peat smoke, Jura combines maritime influence, unique still shapes, and a strong cask program to produce approachable yet complex single malts with a true island character.
