The Diurachs and their unbreakable bond with whisky
Before we delve deeper into Jura Bourbon Cask, it is important to understand the Diurachs. The Isle of Jura, located on the west coast of Scotland, is known for its breathtaking landscapes and the warm hospitality of the Diurachs. The word "Diurach" (='tough') is derived from Scottish Gaelic, the traditional Celtic language spoken in Scotland. The word is used to refer to the local people of Jura, those who live on the island and take pride in their heritage, culture and traditions. The use of the term "Diurach" emphasises the close bond between the people of Jura and their island, as well as their passion for whisky, including the Jura Bourbon Cask single malt.
Fact: It is home to more than 6,000 red deer and about 212 islanders. There is only one road, one pub and one whisky distillery.
The maturation process
Jura Bourbon Cask reveals its character thanks to maturation in ex-bourbon casks of American white oak. These casks add depth and richness to the whisky, while creating a silky smooth texture. Jura's masterful craft is reflected in the careful use of unpeated malt, with just a subtle hint of peated malt to create a delicate hint of smoke. This gives Jura Bourbon Cask a unique and intriguing flavour profile.
Fact: All Jura whiskies are matured in ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak and their exceptionally tall stills are among the highest in Scotland.

Diurachs themselves describe the Jura Bourban Cask as "A fresh, fruity single malt, with flavours of vanilla, toffee, and apricot".
When tasting the Jura Bourban Cask, the complexity of the whisky fully comes to the fore. The creamy toffee creates a wonderfully silky texture. As the whisky unfolds on your tongue, you taste the sweet and juicy flavour of ripe apricot, which adds a refreshing fruitiness to every sip. As icing on the cake, you also discover the subtle flavour of stewed pear, which adds a touch of complexity and natural sweetness to this taste experience. It is a whisky perfect for sharing with friends and family, or for quiet enjoyment during a moment to yourself.
Fact: It is a versatile whisky designed to appeal to a wide audience, including newcomers who have never drunk whisky before, as well as being perfect to use as a base for a refreshing cocktail.

As a creative jack-of-all-trades in the marketing world, I also bring that imaginative flair to my drink choices. Whether on a night out, sunny vacation or social gathering with girlfriends, I'm always in my element with a refreshing cocktail in hand. Cocktails have stolen my heart because of the endless possibilities to experiment and explore. My favorite cocktail of the moment is the "Lazy Red Cheeks"! A delicious cocktail using vodka as a base. I love vodka because it mixes perfectly with non-alcoholic drinks. My favorite spirit? Rum!
