Behold, the Jura 1984 single malt Scotch whisky, a bold expression inspired by the classic George Orwell novel, '1984', written on the Isle of Jura. The whisky is a 1984 vintage, which was matured initially in ex-bourbon casks before enjoying a stretch in Gonzalez Byass Matusalem Sherry casks and then a finishing period in Amaroso and Apostoles Oloroso casks. A great release from the island distillery.
Only 1,984 bottles were released.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed info and/or photos just get in touch!
I would love to own a bottle of this.. I was born in 1984 then my daughter we named Jura was born 2014..
Nose: Leather with hints of peat. Palate: Feels triple distilled, although could be lowland. Mid sherry with a light wood effect. After: The wood spice slips leaving low fumed sherry.
Big brother is watching apparently.
I was lucky enough to try a sample of this last year. So much going on in the glass! Love the hidden message, chaps. Though I'd like to point out that Jura released 1,984 bottles, not 1,948!
Great drink. Exceptional. Very smooth and moderate complexity. Well worth the price and a great drinking experience.
