Jura Journey Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

It has the subtle smoke characteristic of Jura's excellent Island single malts, with robust vanilla and an intense kick of sherried sweetness underneath. The perception that single malt whisky is “better” is subjective, however, it does have the reputation for being the highest quality and is usually more expensive than other whisky.

A well-balanced entry in the Jura range, made up of both smoky and unpeated whisky matured in bourbon casks and finished in sherry, adding darker notes to the soft smoke and fresh fruit of the distillery's whisky. Our boxes are made of 100% recyclable cardboard and our protective honeycomb paper wrap keeps your package safe and significantly reduces our need for plastic.I am disappointed as Jura was a good distillery once, but this has non of the complexity or warmth that I remember from 15 years ago. Delmé-Evans was most involved with Jura, however,remaining on the board until his retirement in 1975. A touch of peat brings a rich and rounded balance of subtle smoky notes with a sweet sherry cask finish.

The result is a 14 year old expression boasting layered spice, aromatic, herbal, and floral qualities.

Single malt distilleries often take pride in their craftsmanship and their adherence to traditional production methods. I too was not sure at first but soon realised that this has a lot to offer in terms of smell and taste and has a fairly long finish.It is warm in colour with aromas of fruit, cracked pepper and dark chocolate and flavours of nectarines, ginger and freshly ground coffee. This exceptional single malt matures in American white oak ex-bourbon and hand-selected American Rye barrels, imparting depth and complexity. Proper Scottish porridge – a pinch of salt and rich oats – stirred through with a spoon of decadently sweet Strawberry jam and sprinkled with raisins. Explore an array of rich and warm toasted flavours inspired by the winding single road revealing the rugged beauty of Jura.
