Nose
Fragrant, piney, a hint of the sea. Palate
Light but firm body. Lightly oily, creamy, malt background. Finish
Delicate sweetness and salt. Comment
For an islander Jura is often thought to be something of a lightweight, but it has hidden depths.
Jim Murray
Nose
A flighty aroma, sea-inspired yet slightly citric. Palate
A backbone of firm oak guarantees a dry start and middle. Finish
Softer and sweeter with waves of vanilla. Comment
A delicious and sophisticated dram with impressive depth and almost perfect weight.
