Isle of Jura 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Jura 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished expression that undergoes a unique maturation process. It is initially matured for eighteen long years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and then enriched by a finishing period in Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux red wine barriques from the South of France. Bottled at 44% ABV, this whisky aims to balance the island's character with the influence of the red wine casks.   

Tasting Notes: (Note: Tasting notes can vary slightly across different sources)

• Color: Rosewood gold.   
• Nose: Expect bold red fruits, toffee, crème anglaise, and cinnamon. Some also note aromas of cinnamon, dried berries, Wine Gums, and hickory. Others detect sweet toffee and cinnamon spice alongside tropical fruits.   
• Palate: The taste offers warm spice and rich black forest fruit, bolstered by cooked raspberries and strawberries, with a hint of chocolate. You might also find brandied cherries, Turkish delight, milky coffee, and blackcurrant jam. Some describe a creamy texture with a lightly sweet center and a pinch of salt.   
• Finish: The finish is often long and warming, with a savory aftertaste. Notes of chocolate chip cookies and orange oil have been mentioned. The red wine finish can bring a tannic and drying quality.   

Awards: Jura 18 Year Old has received recognition at various spirit competitions:

• Gold at the Distillers' Single Malts between 13 and 20 years old category at the International Spirits Challenge in 2020.   
• Silver at the Distillers' Single Malts between 13 and 20 years old category at the International Spirits Challenge in 2019.

Overall Impression: The Jura 18 Year Old is generally considered a richly fruity and full-bodied island single malt with a noticeable influence from the Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux red wine casks. The maturation in bourbon barrels provides a foundation of sweetness and spice, while the red wine finish adds layers of dark fruit and complexity. It's often described as a well-balanced whisky suitable for those who enjoy a fruit-forward dram with a touch of spice and subtle smoky undertones.
