An Island Malt Built for Balance
Jura is one of Scotland's most remote distilleries — an island of barely 200 people and thousands of red deer — and the 12 Year Old is its calling card. Jura's famously tall stills make a light, fruity spirit, and twelve years split between ex-bourbon wood and Oloroso sherry casks layer in honeyed depth without any heaviness. It is the rare island single malt that reads gentle rather than peaty: peach, bright citrus, and lightly toasted walnut, in the distillery's own words.
Tasting Notes
Peach, bright citrus, and lightly toasted walnut on the nose with honeyed malt. The palate is rich and rounded — milk chocolate, brown sugar, and dried fruit over a soft malt core, with a whisper of island smoke. A smooth, lingering finish with gentle sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a drop of water, which lifts the citrus. Its balance also makes it one of the few 12-year single malts that works beautifully in a highball.
