Jura Journey Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

The Jura 18 Year Old single malt has been matured in American white oak barrels, and is enriched by time spent in French oak wine casks from a Premier Grand Cru Classe Bordeaux producer. With every sip of the rye-spiced richness, you experience the bright and characterful spirit of Jura.

It’s got all you want from an every day whisky, chocolate, raisins and smoke, orange and coffee if you add a teaspoon of water.Additionally, regional characteristics such as climate, water source, and local traditions contribute to a diverse range of flavor profiles for single malt enthusiasts to explore.

Generally I love Jura for its smooth brandy-like velvetty flavour, I an not entirely convinced by this particular permutation. Found a bottle of the old 10 in my dad's cupboard and I prefer the newer version as the tastes are kind of more separated, whereas the old was molded into one. We'll send them to be recycled and you'll save paper, carbon emissions and time at the recycling centre! Finish Still fruity, the woody spice picks up with prickles of warming pepper, balanced by sweet, nutty caramel. All the flavour notes are there but it feels like they’ve been added as some sort of concentrate and that the whisky is a fiery, youthful one which has had this and colouring added to fool someone.Today, almost every family on the island has a member who works in our distillery, with our distillery or in whisky-related tourism. I am disappointed as Jura was a good distillery once, but this has non of the complexity or warmth that I remember from 15 years ago. This exceptional single malt matures in American white oak ex-bourbon and hand-selected American Rye barrels, imparting depth and complexity.
