Jura - various
Posted: 15:31 Sat 15 Mar 2014
Have tried several Jura whiskies recently:
Jura Origin (10yr) : lighter style, quite clean, hint of honey
Jura Superstition (?yr) : slightly peated, tasty
Jura Elixir (12yr) : no peat, slight citrus hint, ok
Jura Diurachs' Own (16yr) : fuller toast and honey hints, incredibly loooong delicious finish, very impressed
Overall a whisky I've not tried much previously and was quite impressed. I'd skip the Elixir, but be happy with any of the others. I'm not usually a hug peat fan, but found the Superstition very well balanced if I fancy some peat. The Origin (a also cheapest) seems thin compared to the others, but on its own is good - I often add a very small amount of water (perhaps 20%), but would NOT add this to Origin. Diurachs' Own is my pick of them, with such an incredibly long and tasty finish I've never had on a whisky, with Origin and Superstition equally placed behind it depending if you're in the mood for peat or not.
