Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book
This 16 Year Old Jura Single Malt Whisky is non-peated and matured in a mixture of Bourbon and Sherry Casks. It is very rich, fruity with just a slight hint of saltiness. A cracking after dinner dram that is very moreish.
90.5 points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
"A massive improvement, this time celebrating its salty, earthy heritage to good effect."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with sunlit copper undertones
Nose
Opulent and fruity, this non-peated Jura unfurls a bouquet of ripe orchard fruits—pears, apples, apricot—framed by sherry sweetness and vanilla from the Bourbon casks. A subtle sea-salt lift and coastal earthiness ribbons through, finishing with toasted almond and a whisper of spice.
Palate
Rich and fruit-forward on the palate, with orchard and citrus notes layered with raisins and a touch of fig. Vanilla and caramel from the bourbon influence mingle with a subtle sherry sweetness. A delicate saline edge hints at Jura’s coastal character, keeping the sweetness in check. Silky, medium-bodied with a creamy texture, finishing long and warming with lingering fruit and a soft, nutty note.
Finish
Long and fruit-driven, the finish lingers with a gentle sea-salt kiss and a whisper of sherry sweetness, warmed by Bourbon oak. Very moreish, it leaves an after-dinner glow that invites another sip.
