Make mine a whisky spinach: how your hometown shapes your drinking habits

Your choice of cocktail can be influenced by your hometown

Jura Whisky has done some digging into the nation’s tipples of choice and discovered just how dramatically tastes differ across the country.

Jura Whisky has whipped up a range of city-specific serves tailored to the tastes of the nation.

What’s more, those looking to shake up their whisky serves this summer can claim a free bottle of Fever-Tree mixer with every bottle of Jura Journey or 10 Year Old bought instore at Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose and Co Op while stocks last. Cheers!
