The Isle of Jura Distillery, located on the Isle of Jura in the Inner Hebrides off the West Coast of Scotland, is known for its distinctive range of single malt Scotch whiskies. Founded in 1810, the distillery underwent a significant transformation in 1963 to modernize its facilities. This was driven by the need to help revive the local community by providing employment and preventing depopulation.
The Jura 12yr Old is recognized for its balance and the subtle interplay between traditional scotch whisky flavors and the intricate sherry cask finish, making it a refined choice for both new and seasoned whisky drinkers.
Nose:
The whisky exhibits a blend of sherry influence with citrus and more decadent notes like nougat and almond, along with hints of Christmas cake and baking spice. Elements of dark chocolate, honey, and walnut add depth, complemented by soft citrus tones.
Palate:
The flavor profile includes coffee, salted bananas, and brown sugar, with nuances of liquorice. There is a subtle nuttiness, sweetness from honey, and a hint of spiced glazed nuts. Citrus elements, particularly orange peel, add freshness to the taste.
Finish:
The finish of Jura 12 is notable for its sweet cereal and banana bread qualities, creating a rounded and appealing end.
