Description:
One of Isle of Jura's crowd favorite and an ideal introductory single malt, is Jura Journey, which lends the refined nuances of peat, giving it a nutty taste complementing the sour hints of citrus. It has that fleeting smokiness, like a bird that takes to flight.
Jura Journey has subtleties of roasted chestnuts, bananas, and gingerbread, topped by a zesty zing of citrus.
More Details:
In 1963, the spirit sprang from the Jura stills for the first time since the turn of the 20th century. The whisky distillery is the Isle of Jura's one and only and underwent a substantial rebuild; nothing remained from the old buildings save for the walls. The buildings were designed by William Delm-Evans who would later be the principal architect for the Tullibardine distillery. It was two local estate owners, Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith who employed Delm-Evans to renovate the distillery in a bid to boost the local economy.
Features:
A single malt made up of different ages
Nose: Initial gristy cereal gives way to evocative smoke and heady malt. It's quite sweet and creamy, and reminds us of Chantilly cream.
Palate: Sweet and porridge-like. A cereal fest on the tongue, with hints of white pepper and black forest honey with hot buttered toast. Light and oily.
Finish: Medium length with cocoa and rice paper with hints of honey and spice on the tail.
