Jura 12 Year Old
Jura 12 Year Old is the third of five new single malt whiskies from Jura. The new range ushers in a new era for the distillery and a new style comprised of fruit and subtle smoke. Like the Jura 10 Year Old, this is matured in bourbon casks before being finished in sweet sherry barrels. The whisky is left exposed to the fresh sea air, adding a slightly salty character to this dram. The Jura 12 is a rich and well rounded whisky with subtle smoke and obvious influences from the sherry cask finish. There's chocolate, nuts and tropical fruit on the nose with the palate consisting of coffee, liquorice, salted bananas and brown sugar. The finish contains the subtlest hints of smoke.
Jura Seven Wood
Jura Seven Wood is a complex single malt and is comprised of whisky from no fewer than seven different types of oak wood barrels. It's a testament to Jura's Master Blender's skill that this whisky is able to exist. The barrels involved are first fill ex-bourbon barrels, American White Oak, Limousin, Troncais, Allier, Vosges, Jupilles and Les Bertranges casks. There's chocolate, ginger spice and coffee on the nose. The palate is complex but surprisingly balanced with baked peaches, liquorice and sweet orange with the finish revealing subtle smoke and saltiness. This is an unusual amalgamation of French and American Oak aged single malts that really works wonders on the taste buds.
