Jura 10 Year Old was launched as part of a refreshed core range of whiskies from island distillery Jura in 2018, replacing Jura Origin. Aged in American white oak bourbon barrels before enjoying a finishing period in oloroso sherry butts, it has the subtle smoke and sweet fruitiness you want from a Jura single malt, with an intense kick of sherried sweetness underneath.
Honeyed barley and peaches in syrup, with light wafts of fragrant wood smoke.
Oily and subtly spicy at first, before notes of earthy vanilla pod and chocolate-covered raisins develop.
Another touch of smoke rounds things off.

Terrible excuse for a single malt. Tasteless, flat and sour. No complexity, no fruit, no smoke. poorly blended batch from third rate casks. What is going on here?
Big discrepancy between this bottle and the one I had a few months back. Not to say this is a bad whisky or batch but the difference is like between red and black johnny walker. Last bottle was 4.5 this 3.5 and totally different. Yet bought from same shop at same price.
Love this whisky. Great value, interesting and complex taste, easy sipping, high quality stuff.
A lightly smoked dram that will suit those making the leap from honeyed North Scotland whisky and those rather thin Speysides (not all) to a more oily pleasing drink that needs no water or ice. Room temperature and the nose is lacking but the palate and aftertaste are good.
Lovely eventually. Starts off when first opened with an unbalanced strange nose, on the palate industrial grease. However when it’s sat for a couple of weeks after opening, it develops into something fantastic. There’s subtle Smoke, Oak and Grains on the nose, Peppery spice on the palate to start developing to chocolate and maybe a hint of coffee. The finish has smoke, pepper and maybe chilli. Despite wondering what I’d bought to begin with, this turns into something wonderful given a little time to sit after opening.
