Jura Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Rich golden amber with coppery undertones and a bronze glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-drenched nose with dried plum, fig and sultana, lifting into orange rind, roasted almond and dark chocolate. A kiss of sea-salt and iodine threads through caramel and vanilla, while polished oak and gentle spice lend a refined, maritime elegance.

Palate

Silky and medium-bodied, the palate opens with honeyed toffee and citrus zest, giving way to dried fig, raisin, and dark chocolate. Sherry influence adds walnut, orange peel, and a gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—over soft oak, while a briny sea-salt nuance threads through, finishing long with warm sweetness and subtle pepper.

Finish

Long, plush finish that lingers with dark fruit: raisin, fig and dried apricot, kissed by cocoa and toasted almond. Sherry cask maturation layers sweet spice, orange zest and vanilla, tapering to warm oak and a final hint of coastal salt.
