Jura Whiskyfair

Isle of Jura

Isle of Jura 5 yo 1999/2004 (61.3%, OB for The Whiskyfair, cask #144) Colour: golden straw. Nose: ah, here’s something subtler. Lots of peat smoke again, but also some burnt leaves, cold ashes, beer, cooked apples. Again it isn’t too complex but rather interesting and smoother than #19. Develops on hay and freshly cut grass. Mouth: yawn, it’s strong! Biting, pungent, yet sort of sweet. What a beast! Lots of peat smoke, grass and cold coffee. A rather simple one, though, even if much more balanced than #19. I like it better, no doubt. Besides, the water works well with this one, helping many fruity flavours to develop (apple compote). 85 points.
