Isle of Jura 21 Year Old

Nose: Dried and somewhat waxy fruits at the fore with orange peel, raisins and figs backed by brown sugar and caramelised almond. Notes of polished wood and sugary pastry give a real sense of maturity.

Feel: Smooth and mouth coating at first but does seem to thin out a little quickly.

Taste: Sherried notes of dates and more candied orange followed by some clove and cinnamon spice. The fruitiness continues before becoming slightly lighter on golden sugar and jammy sweetness.

Finish: The oak begins to draw in around the edges of the fruit but doesn’t overstep the mark with the whole becoming chewier and satisfyingly mellow.

Jura often seems to take some time to settle and this one has been given all the time it needs. It might not be the most complex Jura I have tasted but it is a charming and deeply enjoyable dram....just wish it was bottled at 46%.
