Jura 14 Years American Rye Cask Scotch Whisky 750mL

Jura 14 Years American Rye Cask Scotch Whisky 750mL

Jura 14 Year American Rye Cask is a unique release from Jura’s Islay‑neighbor island distillery, crafted to bring a fresh twist on classic Scotch‑malt character. Initially matured in American white‑oak ex‑bourbon barrels, this single malt is finished in carefully selected American rye whisky casks, adding a layer of spice, warmth, and aromatic complexity to Jura’s signature island spirit. 

With 14 years of age and a smooth 40 % ABV, this whisky delivers an inviting balance: bright citrus and vanilla from the bourbon cask base, overlaid with herbal, floral, and spicy rye‑cask notes. It’s approachable enough for newer whisky drinkers while offering layered complexity that appeals to seasoned enthusiasts looking for something different.

Tasting Notes 

Colour

Warm gold, reflecting its time in oak casks.

Nose

• Bright citrus (lemon, orange peel) and soft vanilla from the ex‑bourbon maturation. 

• Underlying herbal and floral notes from the rye‑cask finish — fresh mint, crushed almonds, subtle mango hints in some pours. 

• Light honeyed sweetness, a touch of toffee, and soft oak spice. 

Palate

• Smooth and medium‑bodied. Initial flavors of toffee‑apple sweetness, pecan pie richness, and gentle vanilla. 

• Beneath that, subtle spice: a light rye‑driven warmth, cinnamon, honey, mild cacao and hazelnut undertones. 

• Layers of sweet fruit, light floral herbs, and wood‑spice balance. 

Finish

• Warm, nutty and slightly spicy — lingering toffee, maple‑syrup sweetness, soft wood spice, and sometimes faint tropical‑fruit or guava notes. 

• Gentle dryness and a comforting, mellow fade rather than aggressive bite.
