Isle of Jura 10 Year-Old
70cl
Jura whisky is quite unique and totally different to its neighbours on Islay. This 10 year old is the distillery's core expression and has the characteristic briney, pine, cereal and fudge flavours. The overall impression is of an easy to drink, approachable and soft whisky. Quite the opposite of some of the more challenging whiskies from Islay.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Malted grains, fresh bread, white grapes, apricots, sea spray and a hint of pine. |
Palate | More body and viscosity than expected from a 10 year old single malt- I had to check I opened the correct bottle! The taste is smooth and harmonious with crème caramel, pears in syrup, caramel toffee, maple syrup and some oaky, vanilla flavours. |
Finish | The finish is honeyed and spicy with some pepper and liquorice flavours coming through. This will appeal to a lot of Irish whiskey drinkers! |
Colour | Bright gold/pale bronze in colour. |
