Whisky enthusiasts across the UK have been presented with a festive bargain, as a popular single malt from the Isle of Jura has seen a significant price reduction on Amazon. The Jura Bourbon Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky, originally priced at £36.50, is now available for just £20.73.
A Smooth and Fruity Dram
This particular expression from the Jura distillery is matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, which imparts a distinct and accessible flavour profile. The whisky is described as bright and fruity, opening with notes of vanilla and coconut, followed by apricot and toffee. The finish brings a suggestion of poached pear, cinnamon, and cocoa.
The deal has sparked considerable attention, with the product boasting a 4.8-star rating from over 1,268 reviews on the retail giant's platform. One satisfied customer encapsulated the sentiment, calling it a "quality product" and remarking on its smoky flavour and sweet smell with the ultimate compliment: "Chef's kiss."
Customer Reviews Highlight Value and Taste
The reviews for this discounted malt are overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting its smoothness and value for money. "This is the smoothest whiskey I've ever tasted," wrote one reviewer, adding that it goes down easily and isn't harsh, making it suitable for drinking neat or with ice. Another praised it as a "fantastic late evening tipple" and noted it represented great value for the price paid.
However, the flavour profile, which includes a peaty character, is not for everyone. A minority of reviews cautioned that the peat is strong, with one stating it had a "horrible peaty taste" and was not just slightly smoky.
Where Else to Buy Your Whisky
For those shopping around, the Jura Bourbon Cask is also available at other major retailers, though not at the same deep discount as Amazon. Tesco lists it for £35, or £22 for Clubcard holders, while Morrisons has it for £35.
The article also mentions alternative single malt options for consumers. These include the Talisker 10 Year Old, available for £43.95 at The Whiskey Exchange, known for its notes of peat, citrus, sea salt, and pepper. For a more premium gift option, the Glenfiddich 18-year-old Single Malt can be found for £89 at Laithwaites, presented in a gift box with flavours of caramel, honey, spice, and dried fruit.
This price slash on Amazon, effective as of December 18, 2025, offers a prime opportunity for both whisky connoisseurs and casual drinkers to explore a well-regarded single malt without a hefty price tag.
