I am disappointed as Jura was a good distillery once, but this has non of the complexity or warmth that I remember from 15 years ago.I initially tried this neat and the nose was smokey with a sweetness not unlike peat, a little bit of water allowed the chocolate and coffee through as well as hints of ginger and orange with the smoke more in the background. Nose Zesty wafts of fresh lemon peel and candied orange open things up followed by mint leaves and blossom. Inspired by our history and our island home, our whiskies reflect the unwavering passion and tenacity of the islanders, so it tastes distinctively better because it matters more to those who make it. I too was not sure at first but soon realised that this has a lot to offer in terms of smell and taste and has a fairly long finish.
