Isle of Jura Origin 10 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from Scottish barley, which is milled at the distillery and mashed with hot water in order to release its natural sugars. Once the barley has been mashed, it is fermented and then distilled through Jura's 28-foot tall copper-pot stills.

Jura malt is aged in bourbon casks, with some whiskies being finished in sherry. Their whiskies are really said to come of age around 16 years, this is when the whisky really starts to shine. This is also the age statement of the distillery’s official flagship bottling. 

Tasting Notes

Despite the fact that the water flows through a great deal of peat, the whisky itself is doesn’t have much phenol character. This is in stark contrast to most of its contemporaries across the way. Isle of Jura’s 10 Year Old has a light, warm gold coloring. This single malt has a fruity nose with with notes of pepper and dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with flavors of nectarines, ginger and coffee. The finish is warming, with sherried notes and the characteristic briny taste of Jura whiskies. This 10YO is an easy drinker, a great introductory whisky.
