Jura Rare Vintage 1988, is said to have been created to capture unique moments from the whisky’s island home, and has been looked after by three distillery managers: Willie Tait who originally laid down the cask in 1988, Willie Cochrane who took over the roll in 2005 and currently Graham Logan who took over in 2016.
Jura 28 Year Old, which is said to embody the ingenuity of Jura’s whisky makers through the years, is a new permanent expression, which will be available exclusively in global travel retail.

Commenting on the news, Gregg Glass, Whisky Maker & Blender said: “As an island, Jura has been dedicated to producing the finest whiskies by generations past and present and we are in an exceptionally privileged position to have a range of rare and aged stocks. Both our new expressions are a fitting way to celebrate and share our island’s incredible heritage of whisky making with our growing, global community.”
