With the competition being the likes of Highland Park 12, Caol Ila 12, Talisker 10, Clynelish 14, Glenfiddich 12 etc. This is probably one of the worst malts available in the category around €30. Pinky promise? Unless you're a masochist of course. Charcoal, sappy wood, bitter, mint, lime zest. I guess there's a pear note hidden away in there that's somewhat okay? Stale pond water, cardboard, orange pith, old used coffee grounds, wood glue, oak, motor oil, fries fried in old overused frying oil. Just not in a good way.Įxtremely watery arrival. Honestly there's quite a bit going on here. I compare it to stale rugs, dusty wood and old clothes. There's also this smell of a room belonging to a child that moved out when they became an independent adult that hasn't been touched since. A soft hint of vaguely earthy peat can be found in the back and there's this underlying tone of cloying caramel sweetness. The views, opinions, and tasting notes are 100% my own.Something septic, like paint mixed with decaying leaves, varnish and pool chlorine.

SCORE: 83/100 (B) *Disclosure: This Jura 10 Years was graciously sent to me by the company for the purposes of this review. I don’t know if it’s the addition of the sherry casks to the mix, longer aging in the sherry casks or what exactly they’ve done different but it’s a nice change – it’s far more drinkable and enjoyable than the old Jura 10 years. The overarching flavor and aroma of smoked apricots is pleasant even if it’s not very deep or complex. It’s less bitter, less funky and a whole lot more flavorful. This Jura 10 years is definitely better than the old Jura 10. Ok balance, medium body and a lightly oily feel. Medium fade of peat, funk, cocoa and earthy malt. Smoked apricots toffee, nuts, spice, malty sweetness, cinnamon, apples and a light bit of earthy malt, copper and bitter cocoa. Smoked apricots toffee, dehydrated apples, dried cherries, nutmeg and a bit of earthy malt and a light floral nature. I hope this new approach and style makes its way through their lineup and we start seeing more releases come out that fit along this profile and deliver an even stronger overall portfolio. To my tastes, this Jura 10 Years relaunch is a welcome change and brings a more balanced and inviting character that was missing from the original version. Crafted in unusually tall stills, matured in the fresh sea air and American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished in the finest aged Oloroso Sherry butts – it’s the perfect marriage of Highland and Island styles.” A whisky only Jura could make, born of our Island and still produced today in a bottle originally shaped to withstand the roughest of journeys from our home. This, on the other hand, is a different story. It carried this strong earthy cumin-like character from nose to finish which I found off-putting and obtrusive. I found it to be funky and weird but not in the good and interesting way.

I reviewed the original Jura 10 a few years ago and didn’t much care for it. This is the latest, reconfigured recipe, of the Jura 10 Years.
