In 2018, the Isle of Jura whisky range got a rather snazzy relaunch, which included this tasty 12 year old single malt. Distilled on the eponymous Inner Hebridean island, this expression was initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before being moved over to Oloroso sherry casks for a finishing period. A great example of Jura's delicious malts, more than suitable as an after dinner dram.
Nutty barley, white wine, cinnamon, melon.
Chocolate fudge, pear, a portion of peppery malt tucked away.
Sherbet lemons and sultanas.
I have to agree with the dangerously smooth review below. Got a bottle for my birthday and will definitely be adding this to my Christmas list!
This really is a very tasty whisky with a finish that goes on changing from smoky to sherry to vanilla, toffee, chocolate, coffee and back to smoke again!! I think this should get more recognition than it does, much better and tastier than the 18yr old in the range.Try it, I don't think you will be dissapointed.
Underrated dram. Subtle but complex. Faintly smoked with buttery mouth. Nose of caramel with floral overtones. Opens up well with a bit of water. Much nicer after it sits for a few.
Best Jura I have tasted for a while. Dangerously smooth and very tasty. Even better when bought in the Flash Sale!
