Joining the Jura Cask Editions collection, this expression has been finished in red wine casks, imparting a glorious berry influence to this island single malt. Packing plenty of rich fruit, it's fabulously full bodied, we reckon those folks at Jura are onto something with all this cask experimentation!
Dark berries and forest fruits, gently floral wafts of vanilla and crème caramel.
Sultanas and soft summer fruits with raspberry tang and juicy strawberry and gentle vanilla chai spice.
Cinnamon and red fruits continue with spicy oak, roasted malt, and a creamy finish.
Sorry to say this whiskey is nothing like other Jura brands I've tasted. I found it quite harsh unlike many of the others. I would definitely pay the extra to buy the Jura Sound as that is really smooth. Sorry, but had to add water or a mixer to make it palatable.
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with jura whiskies. Some, I've enjoyed (the 14 year old rye cask for one), others such as journey were just to bland and insipid for me. I bought this on a whim after reading great reviews and it was on a special price. Opening the bottle I find it very 1 dimensional, a little cinnamon but a very dry taste. A lot of suplhur too. Maybe it'll improve after some time, but at this time I'm ready to throw it away.
A delightfully easy-to-drink whisky. Compared with the Jura 10 year, much sweeter notes, but the wine comes through very subtly to enhance the flavour - certainly not an overbearing wine taste, but a great addition. Brings out a lot of fruity elements while still maintaining the best characteristics of a highland scotch. My favourite at the moment.
Probably the best whiskey for a cheap price, full of flavour, smooth with a brush of sweet notes and a clean aftertaste. This is my go to when j see it on offer
I get the red fruit and caramel then a slightly spicy vanilla. Good finish. Got to be careful with this lovely whisky. It almost feels like a desert wine on the palate.
