Description
Jura THE BAY 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 44% Vol. 1 litre + GB is a true homage to the maritime landscape of the Isle of Jura and the traditional distillery, which is located in one of the most remote whisky regions in Scotland. The Isle of Jura is known for its wild nature, its small community of just a few hundred inhabitants and a distillery dedicated to producing multi-faceted single malts.
What sets Jura The Bay apart from other whiskies is its harmonious combination of maritime influences, sweet sherry notes and the characteristic Jura spice. While many Islay whiskies are known for their strong peaty notes, Jura focuses on a more subtle smokiness that softens over time through ageing in American white oak casks. The finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks provides exceptional depth and an aromatic complexity that harmonises fruity, sweet and spicy elements.
Tasting NoteColour: Warm amber with copper reflections.
Nose: Dried fruit, vanilla, honey, dark chocolate, a hint of sea salt.
Flavour: Full-bodied, creamy, notes of sultanas, caramel, spicy oak, sweet sherry and roasted nuts.
Finish: Langs, smooth and elegant, with lingering sweetness, subtle spice and a hint of salty sea air.
Jura The Bay 12 Years Old unfolds its full potential when enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water. Perfect in combination with dark chocolate, salted nuts or mature cheeses such as Manchego or Parmesan. It also unfolds its harmonious sweetness and spiciness perfectly with grilled lamb, Iberian ham or caramelised figs.
