Isle of Jura: Tasting five single malts from 10 to 30 years old

By Miguel in Tasting , Isle of Jura

Just a few meters far from Islay, there is an small island with just one hotel, one road and one distillery. It is called Jura.
Being so near Islay one could think that Diurach would embrace a similar style but nothing is most far from truth. With an style on their own Jura whiskies are more citrusy and spicier than Islay single malts although they have also their small measure of peat.

As Jura distillery is going to release really soon a new expresion of their 30 years old whisky: Camas An Staca and they were so nice to send me a sample I decided to retaste the whole range. My previous contact with Jura whiskies was a bit disappointing and after talking with other bloggers about it I came to the conclusion that my miniatures could be corrupted.

Isle of Jura 10 years old Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Isle of Jura
87
Isle of Jura 10 year Origins
Off the west coast of Scotland lies a magical island of soft sea breezes, freshly caught lobster and a bank that comes once a week. As good as life used to be. One shop, one pub, one community. One fine malt whisky distillery. A gift from nature. Pure spring water, clean fresh air and generations of tradition quietly crafting a more delicate island malt. Visit the island, meet the people, drink the whisky.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (88): inexistent. sweet, honey, vanilla, citrus, a little floral. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (88): . sweet, smoke, wood, honey, citrus, a little floral. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (84): no finish. citrus, wood. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Isle of Jura 10 year Origins with 87 points over 100.
