Aging and cask combination

The whisky is first matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, adding classic Jura elegance with soft vanilla sweetness and warm spices. It then undergoes a secondary maturation in Portuguese ruby port barrels, adding depth, fruitiness and vinous richness.

The combination of bourbon and port barrels creates a flavor profile with both structure and generous fruit – a harmonious balance of sweetness, spice and dark berry notes.

Tasting notes

• Nose: Fresh fruit, red berries, sweet vanilla and a hint of spicy oak.
• Palate: Layer upon layer of ripe fruit, dark chocolate, caramelized nuts and an elegant vinous sweetness.
• Finish: Long and rich with a beautiful balance between the oak spice and the fruity elegance of the port cask.
