Jura Crinan Classic Boat Festival Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 1999 Vintage

Colour

Rich copper-amber with warm mahogany depth and honey-golden highlights.

Nose

Briny sea air intertwines with rich sherry sweetness. Dark fruit—prune, fig, raisin—meets orange zest and vanilla, with cocoa and toasted almond in the background. A touch of caramel and burnt sugar adds warmth, while sea spray and mineral saline hint at Jura’s coastal character. At 52.1% ABV, the aroma feels glossy and focused, with spice, oak, and a whisper of leather as it opens.

Palate

A rich, full-bodied palate with coastal sweetness and sherry depth; ripe dried figs and raisins meet dark chocolate and toasted toffee, complemented by peppery spice and almond nuttiness. Briny maritime notes thread through oak, caramel and vanilla, finishing long with warmth and a hint of sea salt.

Finish

A long, sherry-kissed finish that coats the palate with dark chocolate, dried fig and orange zest. Warm cinnamon and nutmeg thread through toasted oak, while a subtle coastal saltiness lingers, leaving a lasting, comforting glow.
