Jura Aged 10 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 700ml

Product Information

I have to admit that I'm not really that much of a Jura fan. I appreciate the superstition, I like the Diurachs, I good friends with the Prophecy, but the 10yo? Really good review @ markjedi1. I love the fact that whisky can polarize opinion like Jura 10 does.

To my tastes, this Jura 10 Years relaunch is a welcome change and brings a more balanced and inviting character that was missing from the original version. I hope this new approach and style makes its way through their lineup and we start seeing more releases come out that fit along this profile and deliver an even stronger overall portfolio. Jura 10 Years Info Blade & Bow Helps With Placing Swank In Your Bourbon And Ponies - Tasty Bites Journey on A Bourbon Traveler’s Race Season Guide I need to tell, that I was quite satisfied with this whisky. It is not a typical island malt, but can be loved by any whisky-starter, or by those people who prefer fresh tastes instead of peaty flavours. And honestly, this Origin has improved in the couple of months since I opened it. I'm getting stronger oak scent now then I did at first. I like that it stands alone, among other big island distilleries that get way more (in some cases) deserving press.

While many distilleries create either peated or unpeated whiskies, Jura 10 marries together the best of both for a truly unique Island Single Malt that is subtly smoky with a sweet Sherry cask finish. It is matured for ten years in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels with an aged Oloroso Sherry cask finish. Today, almost every family on the island has a member who works in our distillery, with our distillery or in whisky-related tourism. It's interesting how much of an effect it had! Since reading @ victor 's review of an HP12 left open I've been re-visiting my older whiskies and re-tasting them to see what the difference is.

Nose: Light and surprisingly fresh: oranges, cereals, sunflower oil, a pinch of butter, wood polish, with faint hints of salt, but overall notes of spring blossoms. Basil Hayden Malted Rye Whiskey Assessment - Tasty Bites Journey on Old Maysville Club Rye Whiskey Review It is oily and sweet on the palate, but immediately shows some wet cardboard and earth. A salty edge, once more. But it is not really fruity. I get some caramel and walnuts. Turns a bit bitter.

Now the “Origin” is gone, so it’s simply Jura 10 Year Old. The American bottling is 40% ABV, just like the rest of the world. Finally, the whisky is now known to be aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in Sherry butts. Jura distillery is a seeming cat of a distillery, founded in 1810 and possessed of nine lives, or at least a timeline of eight owners. The last major rebuild of the distillery was in 1963, from whence it has been producing a variety of single malts. The island of Jura is very difficult to reach, with the distillery being one of the few actual businesses on it (one road, one pub, one distillery). With approximately 200 Diurachs– the Gaelic name for the inhabitants – living on the island, most everyone there knows someone who works at Jura. In 2018, the complete core line of Jura was retired as the distillery decided to move in a new flavor direction. The Jura 10 is the cornerstone of that relaunch, aging in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished for an undisclosed time in ex-Oloroso sherry casks. Jura Whisky today announced the launch of Jura 10, an exceptional Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky and the first release in Jura’s new core line for the U.S. Hailing from one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, this whisky marries peated and unpeated malt with a Sherry cask finish to create a spirit that is a long way from ordinary.International Spirits Challenge - Silver Medal, 2014 San Francisco World Spirits Competition - Silver Medal, 2013 International Wine & Spirits Competition - Silver Medal, 2012 International Wine & Spirits Competition - Silver Medal, 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition - Silver Medal, 2011 International Spirits Challenge - Bronze Medal This Jura 10 years is definitely better than the old Jura 10. It’s less bitter, less funky and a whole lot more flavorful. The overarching flavor and aroma of smoked apricots is pleasant even if it’s not very deep or complex. I don’t know if it’s the addition of the sherry casks to the mix, longer aging in the sherry casks or what exactly they’ve done different but it’s a nice change – it’s far more drinkable and enjoyable than the old Jura 10 years. The nose offers hay, plasticine, manure (I am not kidding), lemons and oranges. Loads of earthy notes and a salty edge. I have to say, I am still not very fond of this.

The Isle of Jura Origin is the reincarnation of their standard 10 Year Old. But you know as well as I that batches can vary significantly and the last time I tried this one was in 2010. Seeing that I will be trying a few Jura today, I felt it was a smart thing to do start with this entry level malt again.

On the nose I'm getting malted and honeyed coffee beans with light floral and white pepper notes. Neat the arrival is light and silky, really well balanced with a distinct three-phased experience: Light heather and caramel, followed by white pepper, smoke and then a leather and sort of flinty finish. I'm also getting cigar tobacco, parchment and citrus aftertastes with coffee beans. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.
