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.
Quite disappointed. Harsh and chemical. The Journey, which is cheaper, is a much more enjoyable drink.
Inconsistent between bottles. I've bought two of these now, the first bottle was beautifully smooth and flavor. The second bottle, although still flavourful was very harsh by comparison which I think is reflected across the mixed reviews here. If you get a good batch it's great if not then it's a tad disappointing. Worth picking up when cheap though!
Fantastic malt, but what do you expect from Jura. Smoky but not overwhelming, with fruity notes coming through. Lasts on the tongue. Excellent balance, a joy to enjoy. Fantastic value.
Not as pleasant as I’d hoped, nice enough much better than your standard single malt but nothing ground breaking.
Another classic from Jura. Smokey, with notes of Vanilla and fruit. Long lasting finish. Very strong all rounder, and an absolute steal for under £30.
