Volume: 700ml ABV: 44% Age: 12 Years old Country: Scotland
The Isle of Jura Distillery is a single malt whisky distillery located on the island of Jura in the Inner Hebrides off the West Coast of Scotland, about a stones through away from Islay. The distillery is owned by Glasgow based company named Whyte and Mackay who are famous for the blended whisky of the same name. Founded in 1810 by the Laird of Jura, Archibald Campbell it was operational till 1884 when it fell into disrepair. The distillery was dismantled and it wasn’t till the 1950’s the distillery was revived by Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith who were keen to revive the local economy. Installation of taller stills in 1963 allowed the distillery to create a mix of wonderful malt whiskies.
Jura “The Bay,” showcases a balance of light peat smoke with fruity and sherry influences. “The Bay” was specifically matured in American White Oak ex-Bourbon barrels and then finished in first-fill American White Oak barrels seasoned with Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry. This dual maturation aimes to bring sweetness and depth to Jura’s slightly peated, often coastal spirit.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Expect a combination of Jura’s distinctive character and sherry sweetness. Notes of soft peat smoke, dark chocolate, and dried fruits (raisins, figs) would be prominent, alongside hints of vanilla, citrus, and perhaps a touch of sea salt.
Palate: Medium-bodied and smooth, with a delightful interplay of gentle smoke and rich, dark sweetness. Flavours of tropical fruits, honey, toasted nuts, and a warm spiciness (cinnamon, ginger) would emerge, leading into a creamy texture.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with the peat smoke and sherry notes lingering together, often with a hint of dark cocoa or espresso.
