Product description
Jura is currently the third most popular single malt on the UK market behind Glenfiddich and Glenmorangie, although annual sales of around 2 million bottles put it outside the top ten globally.
Spring 2018 brought about 10 new editions, which replaced the previous offer. Jura the Bay 12 years old is a combination of classic, "unpeated" Jura with heavily peated whisky (its annual production is about 7%). The drink was aged in bourbon barrels and finished in barrels that previously stored 15-year-old Pedro Ximénez sherry. Jura Distillery is equipped with two pairs of stills and produces 2.4 million liters of distillate annually.
Nose : pleasant notes of sherry, toffee apples, plums, raisins, caramel, vanilla, licorice, hints of nutmeg and cinnamon and peat smoke in the background.
Taste: cinnamon buns, milk chocolate, raisins, dried figs and dates, licorice, candied ginger, pepper and a bit of peat.
Finish : medium long, with notes of dried fruit, cinnamon, allspice, pepper, a pinch of salt and a distant whiff of peat smoke.
