We look forward to sampling a couple of the other whiskies in the new(ish) range as this has presented a promising start. There is plenty going on with richness and softness being complimented well by a distinct but underlying gentle peat smoke.
This 12 years old is a good solid entry in to the age statement whiskies of Jura. Butterscotch, sugary toffee and milk chocolate come back and linger well. The soft smoke fades as the sweeter notes come back to the fore. These florals carry on in to the finish with a heather-like quality and the faint pot pourri note never far away. The sweeter notes begin to increase as the finish approaches and the dried pot pourri characteristic from the nose develops again. Then come further notes of robust barley grains, woody oak spices (cinnamon, all-spice and clove in particular with a late pinch of white pepper) and a hint of yeast. This has a dry, dusty and earthy feel to it with hints of moss and dried heather. Then comes the sweet and gentle peat smoke that seems to underpin everything. The early sweetness is present as on the nose with notes of milk chocolate, butterscotch and barley sugars combining well. On the palate this whisky has a rich, soft and rounded feel.

Depth is added by an almond-like nuttiness, dried orange peel and warming spices (think of clove and cinnamon especially), plus hints cranberry and pot pourri.
Aromas of icing sugar and butterscotch dominate with a underlying whiff of soft and sweet peat smoke. The colour is a deep golden yellow and the nose is instantly sugary and sweet.

The Jura 12 years old is bottled at 40% ABV and is widely available globally. Under their ownership the brand has seen sales grow massively, especially in the last 10 years. The distillery has an annual production capacity of just over two million litres and is currently owned by Whyte & Mackay, who took control in 1993. Production restarted in 1963 and it has been operating ever since. It was closed for a long period between 19, at which point it was rebuilt using a design by renowned post-War distillery architect William Delmé-Evans. It was originally called the Small Isles distillery after the numerous islands located in Craighouse Bay, which the distillery sits on and overlooks. The Jura distillery is located on the Hebredean isle of Jura and was founded in 1810 by Archibald Campbell. The two pockets of stock have then been married together to produce the final whisky. The whiskies involved in the 12 years old have followed two different paths - regular unpeated spirit has matured in ex-bourbon casks before a period of finishing in ex-Oloroso sherry barrels, while rarer peated spirit (which is only made for one month each year) has been matured solely in ex-bourbon casks. The range was revamped in 2018 and this 12 years old is joined by other age statements at 10, 18 and 21 years old plus three other 'no age statement' expressions - the French Oak, Journey and Seven Wood.
