Jura 30 years old Camas An Staca: Sherry supremacy

By Miguel in Tasting , Isle of Jura

“Sherry crack! This Jura 30 years old is outstanding.”

Isle of Jura 30 Year Old
A terrifying 30 year old whisky from Jura. The name 'Camas an Staca' translates to be simply 'Standing Stone' and refers to one of the 8 ancient stones dotted about the island of Jura.

The whisky has been matured in American oak for 27 years before being finishing in Gonzalez Byass Oloroso butts for 3 years before bottling at 44% ABV. This whisky is quite an experience in itself.

This dram has a tawny-like color.

Nose (90): more than average. floral, honey, nuts, pepper, citrus.

Palate (91): powerful, oily. honey, nuts, wood, tobacco, vanilla, cocoa, citrus.

Finish (90): longer than average. nuts, cocoa.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Isle of Jura 30 Year Old with 90 points over 100.
