Jura The Famous George Orwell Whisky 30 Year Old · 1984 Vintage

Colour

Rich, dark amber with mahogany depth and a copper-gold sheen.

Nose

Aromas unfold with velvety sherry sweetness—ripe fig and dried cherry mingle with walnuts and cocoa, while amber toffee, orange zest, and warming spice weave through toasted oak. Subtle coastal brine and polished leather add maritime depth, guiding toward a long, generous finish.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate with honeyed sweetness and a deep sherried core. Rich dried fig, raisin and dark chocolate mingle with toffee, orange zest and nutmeg, lifted by a saline, coastal note. Velvet oak spice envelops the tongue, leading to a long, warm finish of polished caramel, dark fruit and subtle smoke.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish delivers dark fruit and cacao with sherry depth that lingers gracefully. Raisin and fig sweetness sits atop toasted spice, while a maritime whisper and warm oak slowly fade, leaving a velvet, salt-kissed echo and refined sweetness.
