Tasting note
Geur
Aromatic layers of dried apricot, orange zest, and honey, with a subtle hint of salinity. The sherry casks add notes of raisins, walnuts, and a touch of spices such as nutmeg and clove.
Taste
Rich and velvety, with flavors of candied orange, toffee, and dark chocolate. The sherry influence shines through with dried fruits, hazelnuts, and a light touch of caramel. The balance between sweet and savory creates a complex and satisfying experience.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering notes of oak, soft spices, and a delicate hint of salinity. An elegant and refined conclusion.
Jura Distillery
Jura Distillery is located on the island of Jura, off the west coast of Scotland, known for its rugged beauty and remote location. Founded in 1810, the distillery has a rich history of whisky production, but was closed in the early 20th century. In 1963, Jura Distillery was reopened by local entrepreneurs Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith, bringing new life to the island community.
A specific feature of Jura Distillery is the use of both non-peated and lightly-peated barley, resulting in a wide range of flavour profiles. The distillery produces whiskies that range from light and fruity to rich and smoky. The whisky is mainly matured in American oak bourbon casks, with occasional use of sherry and wine casks for added complexity.
Jura whiskies are known for their smooth and approachable character, with distinctive notes of citrus, honey, spices and a subtle smoke. The unique combination of traditional methods and innovative maturation techniques makes Jura a beloved name in the world of Scotch whisky.
