Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed
November 6, 2020 (edited July 26, 2021)
Nose - peach, apple, dry grass, caramel, vanilla, candied orange, honey, raisin, malty grain, moderate ethanol burn.
Taste - peach tea, candy orange, apple, honey, cinnamon, brine, caramel, vanilla, clove, sweet barrel char, cocoa, raisin, dry grass, lemon, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium length with orchard fruit, tannic barrel char, and caramel flavors.
This is my favorite of the three that came in my sampler pack (10 Year Origin and Superstition were the others). The sweet palate is much more rounded, the sourness is dialed down, and the bitterness isn’t quite as off putting. And the peach tea note is quite nice. So it’s not great, but definitely a step or two above the others for me.

Seems like the consensus holds: this is the best Jura in the sample pack, but it isn't very good either.
