Jura Journey

As an entry level NAS to the Jura range, I think the best I can say is that it’s decidedly OK. There’s an upfront light alcohol hit, reminiscent of an average blend more than a decent Highland malt. It is light overall, with some hinted flavours of vanilla, caramel, fruit and a little spicy smoke. The finish is short with some residual spice and a hint of smoke. None of these flavours are very much at the forefront of the flavour, but rather they all hover around in the background. This is a perfectly drinkable dram. It’s reasonable at the typical discounted supermarket price point of c£22-25ish, but at the RRP at around £10 more there are other, more characterful whiskies that I’d choose over this expression.

Very little peat. Picks up a lot of bourbon notes from the barrel.
