I felt like a senior citizen yelling at a millennial “damn it, young man, act your age!”. I expected more out of a 21 yr old. I’ve always felt that Jura lacks a focus and house style, which then makes its products all over the place. This was quite apparent in this 21 yr old. I went in expecting austere elegance, refinement, and classs...all enveloped around a powerful Islander style oceanic brine and sea salt. What I got was a smorgasbord of flavors, ranging from chocolate to fruits to oak. At the age of 21, resting in warehouses near craggy ocean beaten shorelines, I’d expect that influence to permeate into the whisky. Basic law of osmosis. So the let down, for me at least, wasn’t that it’s not good,..it’s a decent enough whisky. But I’m not getting the influence I’d expect in a 21 yr old Islander.
