TWE Black Friday 2024 Jura

Single Malt — highlands , Scotland

Reviewed April 10, 2026 (edited April 24, 2026)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
It’s been a while since I found quiet time to review. Pulled this out semi-randomly. Is this a Jura that’s long overdue? N: A soft and rubber tire beginning. A subtle maritime brine floats between the rubbery peat. Slowly some grassy notes and lemon zest add some more earthy notes. A beach bonfire on an autumn evening. P: On first draw, a nice lemon-pepper flavor fills the palate. The high proof adds some zing which fortifies the pepper. There is a slightly bitter phenolic tone that hovers over the lemon-pepper. Buried in all those dynamic flavors is a bit of sweetness. Light brown sugar which brings a nice lightness to the palate. W: Water strengthens the sweet side of the pour while softening the jagged edges. F: A long, warming finish that adds drying oak tannins with the prickly bite fading with the sweetness, lemon, pepper and oak. O: Jura has always been mediocre. Superstition was my first Jura and I have always been rooting for them. An underdog. Unfortunately they have stayed mediocre. This dram does show the potential of Jura. Thanks @PBMichiganWolverine for the sample. [Tasted: 4/9/26][90/100]

    I bought a bottle of this on the strength of that sample.

    He’s taken a step back from Distiller. I haven’t been as active lately either. Mostly due to lifestyle changes. Been spending more time on weekend outings and finding less time to sit a review, though whiskey is the essential to my weekend outings. Friends, family, whiskey have been my weekend theme.

    @Scott_E I think @PBMichiganWolverine gave me a sample of this bottling as well - I really liked it. I miss his reviews on Distiller, no more activity since we shared that legendary Bowmore 1964 back in December 2024.
