Jura 10 + Jura Special Edition



Isle of Jura 10 yrs, 40%, 2007

Color: Gold. Nose: Malty, wet plants, earthy, heathery, rope, porridge.Taste: Malty, some salt, smoky but sweet, liquorice, creamy, some sherry influences as well... Aftertaste: A long aftertaste. Sweet and creamy, some sherry again with liquorice and some smoke in the background. Nice one. Better then the Juras of some years ago.Score: 85. Remarks: Still one of my favorite every-day-drams.

Isle of Jura Special Edition, 43%
Color: Light gold. Nose: A bit more Oomph, boldness with some oily influences, gasoline, sherry, overall a bit dusty and musty. Taste: Sour, a bit unpleasant, clearly oranges, a wif of smoky and overall very sweet. Cheap nougat, some clove in there as well. Quite typical to taste that... Aftertaste: Short with clove and a bittersweet finale, brown sugar, caramel and fudge. Not the Jura I was expecting. What do you mean "Special Edition"?Score: 78. Remarks: Not my kind of dram, sorry.
