About Jura 18Yr
Jura 18 Year Old is a premium Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the remote Isle of Jura in Scotland's Islands region, aged 18 years in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels and finished in Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux red wine casks (or Oloroso sherry in some expressions), bottled at 44% ABV. What makes it special is its luxurious balance of rich fruitiness, subtle sweet peat smoke, dark chocolate, and baking spices, derived from a blend of peated and unpeated malts, offering complexity and elegance rare in island malts. Ideal for connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated sipper with viscous mouthfeel and refined warmth, it's perfect for those who enjoy nuanced, dessert-like whiskies without heavy peat dominance. Compared to other 18-year-olds like Glenfiddich or Balvenie, Jura 18 stands out for its red wine influence adding vibrant berries and tannins at a competitive $75 for 750ml, providing excellent value against pricier mainland peers.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromas burst with dark chocolate, dried fruits like raisins, cherries, and blackcurrants, alongside toffee, tropical fruits, white grapes, and baking spices such as cinnamon. Subtle sweet peat smoke lingers in the background, with hints of milk chocolate, toasted coffee, and maple syrup on deeper inspection. A splash of water reveals light herbaceous notes and cherry touches.
👅 Palate
Rich and smooth with flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, and black forest fruits including raspberries, cherries, and blackcurrants, complemented by vanilla, oak, cocoa, and coffee. Baking spices like cinnamon, ginger, and white pepper build alongside soft peat and candied citrus, delivering a viscous, mouth-coating luxury reminiscent of Black Forest gateau. Red wine casks impart brandied cherries and subtle tannins for depth.
✨ Finish
Long, elegant, and warming with fading sweetness giving way to malt, oak, spice, light smoke, and hints of kirsch or toffee. Balanced refinement lingers with tannic dryness.
