ISLE OF JURA 20

A single cask of Isle of Jura, twenty years in a refill Oloroso sherry butt.

The rarest whisky in this Outturn by some distance. this turned a lot of heads at it’s first and only Festival tasting, Jura holds mixed feelings for many whisky fans but this is a beautiful expression of coastal, tropical and complex Isle of Jura.

WHISKY SHEET

“A shy dram at first, it opens with time and rewards patience.”

NOSE

Funky orchard fruit and apple rings, with leather, salt and a soft coastal edge.

finish

Dry and lingering, leather and gentle salt carrying through to the end.

PALETTE

Restrained yet complex, takes a while to open out, needs a little air. Caramels, earth and tobacco leaf over a dry but juicy core. Rich mahogany, a herb liqueur note somewhere near yellow chartreuse, with pepper.
