Jura Seven Wood Scotch Whisky
Jura Seven Wood Scotch Whisky is a 750mL single malt from the Isle of Jura, Scotland, bottled at 42% ABV with no age statement. Its name is literal: the malt is shaped by seven separate oak woods — first-fill ex-bourbon American white oak, plus six French oaks from the forests of Vosges, Bertranges, Jupilles, Allier, Troncais and Limousin. The result is a fruity, spicy island malt with a whisper of Jura's signature smoke. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Seven Forests in One Glass
Jura is an island of one road, one pub and one distillery, home to a couple of hundred people and thousands of red deer — a place that has had to reinvent itself to survive, and its distillery wears that habit proudly. Seven Wood is the blender's version of it: American white oak gives the malt its bourbon-cask base, and then portions are split across six different virgin French forest oaks, each contributing its own grain, spice and fruit character, before the whole is married back together. Compare the age-stated expressions on the Jura vendor page and in our Scotch whisky collection.
Tasting Notes
The distillery's notes, in summary: coffee, ginger spice and a hint of chocolate on the nose; creme caramel, baked peach, sweet liquorice and candied orange through the palate; and a mahogany-gold malt that finishes with fruit, spice and a hint of smoke.
How to Enjoy
Neat, or with a splash of water to separate the French oak spice from the peach and caramel; it is a talking-point pour for anyone who thinks casks are a footnote. More island malts are in our whisky collection.
