🥃 Jura Tastival 2016 – Triple Sherry Finish

Isle of Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Whisky Festival Exclusive – Limited Edition Bottling
ABV: 51% (Cask Strength, Non-Chill Filtered)
Volume: 70 cl
Bottled: 2016
Edition: Limited release (~3,000 bottles)
Master Distiller: Willie Cochrane (final Tastival before retirement)



🏝️ Provenance

Released for Jura’s annual Tastival whisky festival, the 2016 edition celebrates craftsmanship and community through both liquid and art. Jura invited artists from around the world to interpret their tasting notes visually — the winning design by Florian Schommer adorns the packaging, inspired by baked apple, vanilla, maple syrup, and roasted hazelnut.



🪵 Cask Composition
• Matured in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels
• Triple Sherry Finish:
• Palomino Fino – dry and nutty, adds crispness
• Amoroso – medium sweet, brings caramelized fruit and toffee
• Apostoles Palo Cortado – rare, rich, with oxidative depth and walnut warmth
The result: a bold, island malt enriched with layered sweetness and texture.



👃 Nose

Aromatic and complex: apple pie, vanilla cream, toffee, and hazelnut praline.
Hints of maple syrup, sea salt, and delicate floral tones rise gently with air.



👅 Palate

Luxuriously smooth yet powerful:
Baked apples, honeyed figs, dark chocolate, and maritime spice unfold gradually.
The influence of the triple sherry finish creates a deep, velvety sweetness — balanced by Jura’s typical briny minerality.



🍯 Finish

Long, warming, and elegant.
Lingering hazelnut, cocoa, oak spice, and a faint echo of smoke and sea air.



🎨 Design & Story
• Box and label design: Florian Schommer, artist collaboration winner.
• Visual cues: branches (apple), flowers (vanilla), warm tones (maple & roasted nuts).

🏆 Connoisseur’s Note

“A farewell masterpiece from Willie Cochrane — the 2016 Tastival takes Jura’s maritime soul and dresses it in sherry finery. A whisky of warmth, creativity, and emotion — where art meets island spirit.”

I’d estimate the current auction price range (for a bottle in excellent, complete condition) would be:
• UK / Europe: £120 – £180
• US / International: ~ US $150 – $230
• Premium scenario (excellent box, provenance, desirable region): up to US $250 – $300
