Isle of Jura Elements 1989 Water

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

Isle of Jura 10 Year Old

This one has really coffee taste for me) More than any other whisky. It's not overly complex, but pretty drinkable and nice. Nose: Plum jam, peat Palate: Pear, coffee Finish: Coffee beans

Score 83/100

Isle of Jura 10 Year Old

You can't really compare this single malt to some of the delights produced by some of the Islay distilleries but it stands up as a pleasant whisky. Light sea salt and citrus with a smooth, faintly smokey, slightly peaty taste and short but satisfying finish.

Score 70/100
