Chorlton Whisky - Jura 15 Year Old - The Rare Malt

Chorlton Whisky - Jura 15 Year Old

Chorlton Whisky's first single cask from Jura. Like myself and many others, Chorlton's founder David was not a fan of Jura, but this cask changed our mind!

On the nose, there's a distinctive waxy character, custard notes, along with sea salt, lemon, and cookie aromas. There's also a faint scent of tobacco lingering in a cigarette box. Upon tasting, it starts with a citrusy sweetness and an oily texture, gradually revealing a hint of smokiness, which transitions to lemon and a salty flavor. The finish is marked by prominent citrus notes, a touch of oak, and a hint of spice.

Jura

Situated on a remote island, Jura’s current distillery was rebuilt in the 1960s, though the original dates back to 1810. With stills towering at 7.7 meters and a capacity of 2.2 million liters, Jura was designed to produce light, unpeated whisky aligned with blending needs of the time. Peated malt was introduced in the late 1990s, and by 2018, a new core range featured subtle smoky character.

Despite its isolated location, Jura’s tall stills and short fermentation yield a structured spirit that benefits from time and cask influence. This style, often matured in active woods like Sherry casks, delivers complexity and strong aging potential.

Chorlton Whisky

The whisky which I picked to bottle, is something I’m excited about and want to drink. Everything else is secondary, but I’d prefer to release “drinkable whisky” rather than anything expensive or rare.’ David Bennett, the founder of Chorlton Whisky told us.

It is never easy to strike a balance among quality of whisky, label design and price, no matter it is an official or independent bottling. However, we discovered that Chorlton Whisky was doing something different. David said, ‘Initially I thought it would be fun to have something unique to share. The ethos now, though, is trying to make single cask whisky a bit more accessible.
