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.
I paid £25 (discounted from £38) I wouldn't buy again even at that price. I personally just find it very harsh and not smooth. Quite a pleasant taste though.
I do quite like this..fruity sherry,coffee,ginger,spicy..all nice flavours and easy to drink.Quite intense for 40% abv,not watery at all,like some weaker whiskies.
30 quid these days isn't bad for a10 year old. But I tried this in a pub for the first time last night. Maybe cause the bottle was opened for my drink. It maybe hadn't had time to oxidise. But my first impression was far from good. Can't recommend at all.
Amazingly smooth and sweet with what I felt was almost a viscous Apple core feel in the mouth ~ not a whisky connoisseur but loved it
Very enjoyable, very smooth, a very pleasant change tasting whisky without the bite,the only down side was her indoors enjoyed too so had to share
