Another distillery I wanted to give a new attempt after I wasn’t convinced the first time I tasted something from them. (I had the 10y and ‘Superstition’ before.) This is a peculiar bottling. Jura has the regular age-statements including the 21y. But they also have two separate 21y bottling called ‘Tide’ and ‘Time’. Would have been interesting how different the two are but let’s see what it is in the first place. Highlandish fruit and honey notes on the nose with a very mild peat. There is a sulphuric part to it as well like fresh scrambled eggs. Also mustard. Strange. Some bitter walnuts, apple sauce and ripe gooseberries. For 21 years and 46 something % ABV this is surprisingly weak. But what you get is nice and not too sweet but sadly a little boring / simple. The palate is kinda the same. Nice and a bid weird. Malt, bitter pears, mustard seeds, apple vinegar. The finish isn’t great. Long and proper for its age and ABV but it feels off somehow. Water brings out some very nice features on the nose. Brown Christmas gingerbread with icing. The palate looses grip though. This was interesting but not very enjoyable. It really is weird and feels off on several ends. The strange side notes are odd and just don’t fit in. Not sure if this sample was off or had too much oxidation but this is the third dram of Jura that I didn’t really like so I will keep my hands of any others for the foreseeable future.
