Jura Whisky has launched new Jura 10 Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky in the US market.

Produced using peated and unpeated malt with a Sherry cask finish, the whiskey was brewed at the Jura distillery located a few miles off the West Coast of Scotland.

It is claimed to be the first release in the company’s new core line for the US.

Jura Distillery's manager Graham Logan said: "The launch of the new Jura 10 celebrates our heritage of whisky-making.

"We look forward to sharing the long-standing traditions and unmistakable flavours of Jura 10's island home with the world."

"The craft of producing great whisky has been at the heart of Jura's close-knit community for hundreds of years and we look forward to sharing the long-standing traditions and unmistakable flavours of Jura 10's island home with the world."

Jura 10 has been matured for ten years in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels with an aged oloroso sherry cask finish. The new whisky has aromas of fruit, cracked pepper, and dark chocolate.

The copper-gold whisky also includes nectarines, ginger, and freshly ground coffee, with a subtle touch of smoke to finish.

The new beverage will be retailed across the US market in a 750ml bottle.
