Jura The Road / 43.6% / 1.0l

In April 2018, the Travel Retail chain debuted the Sherry Cask Collection, also known as The Jura Travellers Collection.

It consists of four whiskies named after the most important places on the island of Jura. All were aged in bourbon barrels and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels. Jura has basically one road, which runs along the coast and takes us from the ferry port to the distillery. The whisky presented here, after maturing in bourbon barrels, was finished in barrels in which Pedro Ximénez sherry had rested for 20 years. In Old Norse, "jura" means "deer island". For every resident of the island (there are about 200 of them), there are 20 deer.

Aroma: fresh, apples, oranges, apricots, caramel, vanilla, a touch of cinnamon and pepper and a barely noticeable note of smoke in the background.

Palate : toffee, caramel, cappuccino, cocoa powder, apple pie sprinkled with cinnamon, cherries, hints of pepper and oak.

Finish : medium long, with hints of vanilla, milk fudge, milk chocolate, mixed nuts, cinnamon and oak.
