Jura 21 Year

Salty, grassy, touch of floral on the nose. Salted caramel with nutmeg fading into a ginger finish.

Taste courtesy of Lord Kitchen” This complex dram has something for everyone. Fresh and fruity on the nose. Multiple layers of raisin, coffee, almond and caramel provide a palate full of sweet surprises. The finish pulls you back to the sea with a classic Jura romp in the salt, seaweed, and brine. Ahhhh....

Very interesting dram. Sweet citrus on the nose; can’t really detect any peat, so if it’s there, it is subtle. A small hint of vanilla and then the seaside characteristics come out - salt and brine, but not overpowering. For a 21 year old it’s not as refined as I would have thought, but it’s got all the right aspects. Palate is citrus, some spice. I lost the heathered peat. Some more marine notes. Well rounded, one note doesn’t overpower the rest. I find myself going back to it and coming away with a different note. I’ve had better 21s, but this is a solid dram.

Excellent dram that starts with a nose full of nuts, hazelnuts, peanuts and various spices. It continues with a complex palate where the aromas of the nose are added with chilli and almond chocolate, I also feel brackish notes. Best part is finish, long, brackish and spicy, grass and earth. Hard and pure whisky, also seen where it comes from. Really very good, exceptional value. I do not consider it a fundamental component, if not to understand the origin of the barrels, but an honorable mention for the color: real liquid gold! _______________________________________________________________________________ Eccellente bevuta che inizia da un naso pieno di noci, nocciole, noccioline e spezie varie. Si prosegue con un palato complesso dove agli aromi del naso si aggiunge cioccolato al peperoncino e mandorle, sento anche note di salmastro. Finale parte migliore, lungo, salmastro e piccante, erba e terra. Whisky duro e puro, visto anche da dove viene. Davvero molto buono, rapporto qualità/prezzo eccezionale. Non lo reputo una componente fondamentale, se non per capire la provenienza delle botti, ma menzione d’onore per il colore: vero oro liquido!

Beautiful dram, i dont think it is too expensive and it is full of flavor. I am a fond fan of most Jura's Whiskies, but this is a good expression that deserves credit. Bottled at 44%abv On the nose is mostly sweet even for a mildly peated whisky. Heathery peat, Super sweet. Orange zest. Orange candy. Hints of coffee; Coffee intensifies after first sip. On the palate it is much more peaty. Tobacco. Cigarrettes, ginger spice, there is some citric fruits also. Second sip was much more earthy. The best part is the aftertaste. Smoky cigarrette finish. Wow this is super interesting, Its like nicotine. Earthy mud aftertaste. Impressive finish really, so earthy, almost dirt but in a pleasant way. Very long lasting. Overall this dram deserves a solid 89 over 100, i dont think it is an everyday dram but it is surely going to surprise you. I had it for a second time, found a lot of prunes and sherriness.

Easy start strong finish minimal nose just subtle vanilla with a beautiful ripening fruit bouquet as it runs down the throat. Silky smooth mouth feel caramels, molasses and a finish of smoke
