On the palate, it’s got a silky texture, and a flavor that smacks of malty cereals and apples, with just a touch of anise to make things interesting. Isle of Jura, Take a fishing trip to Jura, a remote and beautiful island. It’s a simple, but well-rounded and balanced scent, and very much in tune with what one might imagine for an Islands single malt. The nose has a soft, sweetly honeyed cereal base, joined with dabs of peat smoke, pepper and dry oak. The liquid is somewhat viscous, leaving just a few legs after a swish and those resembling the veins of a leaf. In the glass, Jura 10 Year Old has a lightly coppered, golden appearance, something like apple juice. This review is from a Jura tasting pack (50ml glass miniatures) with the 43 ABV presentation. It’s hard to tell from the information online, but the 40 might be for the domestic 700ml European market, while the 43 might be for the US 750ml market. Finally, the whisky is now known to be aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in Sherry butts. Note that Jura appears to bottle the 10 year-old Origin at both 43 and 40 ABV. The American bottling is 40% ABV, just like the rest of the world. Now the “Origin” is gone, so it’s simply Jura 10 Year Old. Once upon a time there were two versions of this release, a 43% ABV, 750ml bottling for the American market and a 40% ABV, 70cl bottling for the rest of the world, and both were once titled “Origin.” Jura 10 Year Old is the core expression in the distillery’s single malt line, and has gone through at least three changes of appearance and titling since my first exposure to Jura 10 Year Old some years ago.

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. A well-balanced entry in the Jura range, made up of both smoky and unpeated whisky matured in bourbon casks and finished in sherry, adding darker notes to. This Jura 10 years is definitely better than the old Jura 10.

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.

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.
