About this deal

Sweet caramelised nuts, juicy tropical fruits, buttery vanilla, crisp spiced apple with fragrant cinnamon and oak char. Also sign me up for newsletters so I can get special offers, recommendations, and expert advice to my inbox!

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. Sweet and balanced on the palate without smoke for me, and on the finish a delightful apple, with crumble. Light peat, brown sugar and orange on the nose leads to smooth burnt toffee taste, with softer citrus and coffee on the finish. Jura whisky is made using the crystal clear waters that run off ‘The Paps of Jura’, the tallest mountain range on the isle. Jura whisky is available in a variety of single malts and vatted malts and Jura Superstition is a personal favourite amongst the staff here at Hard To Find Whisky.After maturing in mainly American oak ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky is decanted into Jura’s iconic bottle – with its broad shoulders and rounded edges originally designed to withstand rough sea journeys. The new distillery was producing malt more akin to the Highland style rather than the heavily-peated whisky of near-neighbours Islay, a strategy that has continued to bear fruit for Jura (although more experimental peated bottlings from the late 1990s are now finding their way to market, to some acclaim). It is not the same wonderful taste at all, I cannot now sip it neat over ice, it appears to me to be sharp and raw with a rough edge.

This single malt Island whisky was matured for 19 years in a single ex-Bourbon hogshead, and offers attractive aromas and flavours of shortbread, lemon, and caramel. Delmé-Evans was most involved with Jura, however,remaining on the board until his retirement in 1975.A well-balanced entry in the Jura range, made up of both smoky and unpeated whisky matured in bourbon casks and finished in sherry, adding darker notes to the soft smoke and fresh fruit of the distillery's whisky.

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.As though someone has taken the flavour concentrate of a Highland whisky and added it to some colouring and a very immature light yellow whisky.
