Jura Boutique Barrels - Bourbon XU Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1999 Vintage

Colour

Warm, sunlit amber with shimmering copper-gold highlights and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Smoky peat and coastal brine rise from the glass, threaded with iodine and sea-salt. Vanilla, caramel and orange zest from the bourbon finish weave through the oak, giving a warm, luxurious layer. A restrained medicinal edge hints at Jura’s island character, brightened by high-proof vitality.

Palate

Powerfully smoky on the palate, with briny coastal notes and a soft iodine lift that echoes Islay character. Rich vanilla and toffee mingle with charcoal and ash, while dark fruit unfolds beneath. Spicy pepper and firm oak provide structure, finishing long with lingering smoke, citrus zest and a wave of maritime salt. A bold, warming profile suited to a late-night dram.

Finish

Long, coastal finish dominated by ember-smoke and saline breeze. Vanilla and toasted oak glow beneath a whisper of sea salt, with a lingering spice kiss that deepens toward cedarwood and a drying elegance. A classic maritime echo that lingers well beyond the last sip.
