Jura Elements - Earth Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1999 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones and a rich honey glow.

Nose

A bold maritime peat aroma dominates: smoke, iodine and sea spray mingle with mineral earth and damp forest floor. Sherry-cask sweetness threads through—fig and raisin—while vanilla, spice and a hint of leather and ash deepen the complexity, yielding a fiercely elegant, coastal-peat bouquet.

Palate

Bold peat smoke anchors the palate, with earthy dampness, ash and a hint of coal. Briny coastal notes fold into rich sherry sweetness: figs, raisins, dark chocolate, while spice and vanilla add warmth. A mineral, mossy core keeps it dry and refined, with a soft, velvety texture. Long, peaty finish lingers with smoke, cocoa, and a touch of salt.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with enveloping peat and sea-salt, then a drying echo of ash and mineral bite. Subtle dark chocolate and leather drift in briefly, before a warm, sustained fade that lingers like a coastal bonfire.
