Jura 12 Year Old – 70 cl

The core of the Jura range, aged for 12 years in bourbon casks and then finished in Oloroso sherry. The result blends the distillery’s characteristic gently smoky character with sweetness, spice and dark fruit. A great introduction to Jura.

NOSE: Smouldering cocoa nibs and rich rice pudding. Baked apples follow, sprinkled with spice and raisins, and drizzled with creamy chocolate sauce. Leathery touches develop.

PALATE: Rich and rounded, with an initial burst of barrel char halted by milk-chocolate-covered raisins and toffee sauce. The char rumbles along behind, rising at the end with a plume of soft peat smoke.

FINISH: Smoky bonfire-baked apples fade to leave a hint of mint and menthol.
