Isle of Jura 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Jura 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a signature expression from the Isle of Jura distillery. It is crafted by maturing the spirit in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels for 12 years and then finishing it in aged Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez, Spain. This maturation process aims to create a balanced and approachable whisky with a distinctive character. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is often considered a good introduction to the Jura range.  

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

• Nose: Expect aromas of dark chocolate, honey, walnut, and soft citrus. Some describe nutty barley, white wine, cinnamon, and melon. Others note warm honey and vanilla evolving to rich fruit and toffee, or even smoldering cocoa nibs with baked apples and spice. A subtle smokiness is often present.   
• Palate: The taste typically offers coffee, salted bananas, liquorice, and brown sugar. Other described flavors include chocolate fudge, pear, and a portion of peppery malt. You might also find rich dark fruit leading to sweet spices and layers of citrus, or creamy milk chocolate with toffee sauce and a gentle barrel char.   
• Finish: The finish is generally medium in length with notes of freshly ground coffee and dark chocolate. Some describe sherbet lemons and sultanas, or smoky bonfire-baked apples fading to mint and menthol. A lingering sweetness with hints of citrus is also noted.   

Awards: Jura 12 Year Old has received recognition at various spirit competitions:

• Silver Medal at the World Whiskies Awards in 2024.   
• Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge in 2020.   
• Silver Medal at the International Spirits Challenge in 2019.

Overall Impression: The Jura 12 Year Old is generally considered a vibrant and characterful island single malt. The bourbon cask maturation combined with the Oloroso sherry finish imparts a honeyed sweetness with notes of warm spice, fruit, and a subtle smokiness. While some reviews are more enthusiastic than others, it is often seen as an approachable and enjoyable dram, suitable as an after-dinner whisky or for sharing.
