On the back of these strong credentials, Islanders\u2019 Expressions is launched \u2013 proving that there is more to Jura than their famed Single Malt Whisky. Islanders\u2019 Expressions captures the power of an eclectic and inspiring community of innovators and artisans and kicks off with storytelling jeweller Amy Dunnachie aka Amy Finds, to bring to life a new addition to its whisky family.<\/p>\n<p>A Jura native, Amy forages objects from around the island\u2019s shores and landscape to reimagine new treasures, each telling their own unique story.<\/p>\n<p>With a strong commitment to sustainable craft, Amy salvages a diverse array of items celebrating what makes Jura so special and magical which in turn has inspired the whisky maker in his quest to find the right character to complement her style.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting whisky is a product of two islands, Jura off the West Coast of Scotland and Barbados at the east of the Caribbean islands. This meeting of islands has brought together the very best, hand selected ex-bourbon barrels with tropically infused ex-rum casks from Barbados to create the perfect partnership with Jura\u2019s light, citrus and grassy spirit.<\/p>\n<p>In reflection of the vitality which defines Amy\u2019s work, this single malt is smooth, vibrant and inviting brings a fresh maritime character with tropical fruit, warming sweet spice and the rich sweetness of Barbados rum.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-56676-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jura_ie_standard-1080p.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jura_ie_standard-1080p.mp4\">https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jura_ie_standard-1080p.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Clarisse Daniels, Head of Marketing comments: <em>\u201cJura is currently experiencing huge growth with sales more than doubling in GTR last year. Given its power status in Europe, Jura is the preferred choice to the duty free shoppers looking to buy not only the brand they love &#8211; which is reflected in our current performance across Europe DF \u2013 but who are open to trying new flavours driven by craft and quality cues. Our travel retail exclusive range is the only complete TRX range that is enhanced in casks that previously held Pedro Xim\u00e9nez Sherry (PX) of different ages meets their demand.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWith Whyte and Mackay being a Single Malt specialist, we also understand that choice, great product stories, exclusivity and new product launches have been driving the category which is why we believe that the new limited edition collection will excite the DF shopper and is guaranteed to sell out quickly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gregg Glass, Master Whisky Maker, adds <em>\u201cJura Whisky is \u2018islander made\u2019 \u2013 and it is that collective creative spirit on the island that sees us embrace innovation, new ideas and dedicated craftsmanship. This collaboration celebrates this and why we believe Jura truly is more than a whisky. In crafting this character, we\u2019ve been able to bring this story to life through the flavours but also inspire drinkers to discover that there is so much more to Jura than they might think. It goes beyond what they may expect, just like our whiskies and the community itself. I\u2019ve really enjoyed exploring Amy\u2019s work to inspire our thinking in the creation of this single malt and love the opportunity to tap into some of the incredible finishes we can achieve with Jura.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Taking Amy\u2019s creative lens as the canvas, this whisky visually showcases the distinctive style on both bottle and carton, with bright hues of blue and greens, and also features a brooch from her \u2018in a reel tangle\u2019 collection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Available for a limited time and in small quantities, Jura Islanders\u2019 Expressions will be available in key GTR destinations launching on April 1 at Heathrow T5 where shoppers will also have the opportunity to personalise their bottles. Other UK and European airports will follow before the collection rolls out to other key locations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-56676-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KV-Final-A_1712_1x1_PersonaliseYourBottle_V01-1.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KV-Final-A_1712_1x1_PersonaliseYourBottle_V01-1.mp4\">https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KV-Final-A_1712_1x1_PersonaliseYourBottle_V01-1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An accessible RSP of \u00a350 is expected to drive ROS and will be supported by an omnichannel campaign offering enriching online experiences on their path to purchase, as well as a connected pack to invite them to discover more and share their experience with their peers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exclusive to Global Travel Retail, Jura Islanders\u2019 Expressions takes its inspiration from the creative and artistic members of its tiny island community to create an [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":56677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2597,1,477,7093,7099,7097],"tags":[963,69,39,1166,11079,8300,612,996,216,103,273,2403],"class_list":["post-56676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-best-selling-brands-in-duty-free","category-latest-news","category-latest-promotions-in-duty-free","category-luxury","category-spirits","category-wines-spirits","tag-dufry","tag-duty-free","tag-dutyfree","tag-heathrow-t5","tag-jura-islanders-expressions","tag-jura-single-malt-whisky","tag-single-malt","tag-t5","tag-travel-retail","tag-whisky","tag-world-duty-free","tag-world-of-whiskies"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
