Product description
In spring 2018, Jura Distillery changed the aroma and flavour profile of its whisky and replaced the existing basic range with five new editions.
The current character of Jura is a combination of subtle peat notes with sweetness extracted from bourbon barrels and various barrels used in the maturation phase. The brightest star of the new offer is the Jura 18 years old presented here, a whisky aged in bourbon barrels and finished in red wine barrels. Jura currently produces 2.3 million liters of distillate per year, of which about 10% from malt with a concentration of phenol compounds of 50 ppm.
Nose: subtle smoky-peat notes, sour grapes, red berries, raisins, walnuts, caramel, vanilla, a touch of cinnamon and licorice, leather and a trace of tobacco.
Palate : mixed berry jam, lemons, blood oranges, raisins, vanilla, salted caramel, candied ginger, pepper, oak and a distant hint of smoke.
Finish: quite long, with notes of dried fruit, caramel, cinnamon, pepper, a bit of peat and oak.
