Whiskey isle of jura12/28/2023 Now, most of you who are familiar with Jura would know that they traditionally focus on releases with either a bourbon influence or something to do with American Oak. I admit that most of it was rather unique in itself (and pricey too), but then this particular Jura expression caught my attention. In fact (and this might surprise some of you), the Isle of Jura Superstition was the very first single malt whisky that I tried back in 2008 when I embarked on my journey of discovery (the blended whisky journey had started 2 years earlier).Īs time went on, I delved deeper into the rest of the Jura range of whiskies and savoured the 10 Years Old (which is a solid dram and one of my go to whiskies at Duty Free if I’m looking for something unpeated), the heavily peated Prophecy (which I immensely enjoyed), the interesting 16 Year Old Diurach’s Own (takes a bit of water to get going) and of course the 1993 Sherry ‘Ji’ Cask, which is the focus of this review.įollowing on with how these reviews usually transpire, I was at Whisky & Alement in Melbourne back in July and was savouring a few drams with some mates at the bar when curiosity got the better of me and I started flipping through the bar menu in search of somthing unique. Now, I use the word only with every ounce of respect for Jura as it is a phenomenal distillery. It is traditionally in the shadow of its far more celebrated brethren, Islay, but that is probably due to Islay having 8 (soon to be 9) distilleries and Jura only having the one. The Isle of Jura (both the island the distillery) has fascinated me for quite a while and with good reason.
