Isle of Jura 1999 Bourbon Xu Finish Heavy Peat

Isle of Jura introduced a Boutique Barrels series that consists of three single casks at cask strength with a special finish: the Bourbon JO from 1995, the Sherry JI from 1993 and this XU Heavy Peat from 1999. It is (doh!) heavily peated and matured on bourbon barrels from Kentucky from 1999 until 2006, before getting a finish of what they call...

Isle of Jura 11 Year old Provenance bottling

The nose is light and refreshing - it has a citrus edge that keeps it zesty despite the main body of oil, salt and mild earthy peat. Really interesting smell. The taste is heavier than the nose. It still contains the citrus notes, but the earthy notes are stronger with more hints of salt, wood and smoke. The peatiness isn't as strong in the taste...

Score 71/100

Jura Prophecy

Nose is seaside, but with a touch of mead/honey. More peat than the Bruichladdich Peat, but very reminiscent of standard Jura bottlings. A touch of caramel/butterscotch flavour, and a touch of peat on the finish. More enjoyable than the standard Jura bottling.

Score 82/100
