From the Isle of Jura range of whiskies originally released for the Travel Retail market comes a 19 year old single malt named after the famous Paps of Jura on the western side of the island. It was allowed a finishing period in casks that were previously home to 40 year old Pedro Ximénez sherry.
Quince jam, a light waft of toasted oak smokiness, juicy prune and oily walnut.
Subtle green apple sharpness, swiftly balance by layers of thick caramel and chocolate chip cookie dough.
Savoury hints of sea salt and rye spice develop on the finish, though it remains chocolatey.

I fly every week for work and always like a wee taste at the airport. I asked the girl what she had in the Jura range for testing and she pulled this one out. I knew it was top of the range immediately. A complex dram, sweet and nutty with medium smooth finish. Pure class.
