Jura 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl
The Isle of Jura Distillery has been producing single malt since 1810 on one of Scotland's most remote and spectacular islands — home to just over 200 people and approximately 5,000 red deer, and accessible only by a single-track road and a small ferry from Islay. Jura's famously tall copper pot stills — among the tallest in Scotland — produce a characteristically light, elegant, and fruit-forward spirit that is the ideal canvas for the sherry and other cask finishes the distillery employs so effectively. The 12 Year Old is the standard entry expression of the range — matured in ex-bourbon casks and to deliver Jura's characteristic light, fruit-forward, and refreshingly approachable island character. A consistently enjoyable and honest single malt available to buy online in Singapore from The Liquid Collection — an excellent introduction to the island style for those new to Jura.
TASTING NOTES
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.
