Whisky & Mental Health | Jura Distillery Cask 1708 Review (19 Year Old, 55% ABV)

This review is released on World Mental Health Day, and it’s a fitting time to explore a whisky that truly made a difference. In 2020, Jura Distillery released Distillery Cask #1708, a 19-year-old single malt that was auctioned exclusively to raise funds for SAMH – Scottish Action for Mental Health. All 470 bottles sold, raising an incredible £48,000 to support mental health services across Scotland. In this video, I take a closer look at this remarkable release — a cask strength, ex-sherry butt matured Jura that shows just how much good whisky can do when paired with a good cause (while also being an enjoyable dram). 👉 Whisky Details: Distillery: Jura (Isle of Jura, Scotland) Cask No: 1708 Age: 19 Years ABV: 55% (Cask Strength) Cask Type: Ex-Sherry Butt Outturn: 470 Bottles Distilled: 2001 | Bottled: 2020 A huge thank you to Uncle Baldrick for sharing this sample — a dram worth waiting for. 🥃 It’s not weak to speak — raise a dram for mental health.
