SCOTLAND CANE & GRAIN 2011 JURA 56.9%

The Island Of Jura, home to 200 islanders, one road, one pub and one distillery. Since 1810 this unique island has been producing whisky renowned worldwide. A small island, only 60 miles away from the mainland, yet feels like another world with its ancient landscape and wild terrain. Latour wine cask greatly enhances the typical Jura notes providing an indelible impression, not to be forgotten.

Summary –A subtle whisky, shy on the nose, with those gentle whisps of smoke apparent, but not in your face – highly approachable with the addition of water. This is a shy whisky, needing a drop of water to enhance the sweet and smoky notes that need to be awakened.
Nose: Honey, citrus, gentle whisps of smoke in the background
Palate: Sweet vanilla up front, developing into a dryness – addition of water develops sweet notes further and develops subtle smoky notes Aftertaste: A finish that is chewy and lingering, sweet with the addition of water
