The Sound is the entry level expression from Isle of Jura's Travel Retail range, all of which feature whisky finished in casks that previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry of various ages. This particular single malt was finished in casks that matured 15 year old Pedro Ximénez sherry. Sadly, there isn't a whisky in the range called The Fury to pair this with.
Soft caramel and sultana notes. Burnt oak balanced by floral malt.
Orange syrup, rose petal, cherry and a touch of five-spice.
Chocolatey on the finish, joined by buttered brown bread.
I really like The Sound. Harmonious overtones, clear articulations and sonorous sustain, a fine counterpoint between distinct notes, with a very gradual and graceful decrescendo.
The drink has some odd taste like fungus. Disappointed. No where near to Jura Original
Very nice. Perfect drink
This is a nice but unspectacular addition to the Jura range. When I saw it was £60 a bottle I was expecting something spectacular, but it's far from it. It's not unpleasant and quite drinkable, but I'd rather have a Balvenie 12 year old at half the price.
