We are talking more of a creme brûlée flavour with its burnt top (including a little bitterness) in relation to the smoke however, rather than chewing on peat bricks. Sweet with a little black peppery or crystallised ginger spice, and another little bit of smoke. Oak spice slowly gathers around the tastebuds. Possibly it is the lightly peated smoke notes that are adding to those root malted barley flavours. It doesn’t just have a pecan nutty flavour it has a caramelised pecan flavour. It doesn’t just taste like pear, it tasted like poached pears. ![]() It doesn’t taste just like pineapples, it tastes like barbecued pineapple rings. ![]() It is light and fruity, but with a little something else. A touch of the maritime sea spray and the teeniest tiniest bit of smoke (though that’s mainly thanks to the notes on the bottle having stoked the imagination). There’s a Danish pastry type smell with a complementary banana/custard note and some gentle sweet baking spice. (At the time of writing, a full size bottle carries an RRP £33 but it can regularly be found with discount deals in UK supermarkets). The start of this exploration is therefore a non-age statement single malt scotch whisky, having spent its entire life in ex-bourbon casks, to then be bottled at 40% ABV, and destined for stores and supermarkets worldwide. The ideal starting place for exploring our Jura range. This perfect marriage of Jura and hand selected American white oak ex bourbon casks results in notes of creamy vanilla, pecan pie and a touch of soft cinnamon and fresh pear. The path from our foundation to the revival of our distillery in 1963 has shaped the vibrant character of our tiny island community and the whisky we make. It’s the journey, not the destination that shapes us. ![]() In this post we look at that opening gambit to the revitalised roster: Journey.Ī welcoming single malt whisky that will transport you to the Isle of Jura light and fruity with a touch of gentle spice Whilst previously showcasing polarising flavour profiles in their outgoing core range (from light and fruity whisky to dense, heavily peated drams) each entrant in the revised line-up has sought to follow a single suit and explore Jura’s fruity spirit with a lightly peated backbone – thus completely starting afresh with a newfound house style. Whilst the hourglass-style bottle remained, gone were the Origin, Prophecy, Diruach’s Own, and Superstition releases, and instead a new troop of five single malts stood: Journey, 10yo, 12yo, Seven Wood, and 18yo. Back in 2018, Jura underwent a major rebrand and replaced its entire core range of single malt scotch whiskies.
