![]() I heard of languages being learned, podcast starting, and pets being adopted among many other skills and interests. I really appreciate hearing how friends and colleagues adjusted to the lock-down by trying to utilize the time at home to learn and do new things. I find it to be an interesting parallel between Orwell needing solitude and isolation to be able to complete his novel and the recent isolation some of us felt during the pandemic. The Isle Of Jura is also known for The Paps of Jura, and as being the location where George Orwell escaped the noise and distraction to finish his classic dystopian novel 1984. The Isle is also well known for its red deer population, which numbers close to 6,000, although I believe that they have less to do with the distillery’s operation. ![]() The occupations of the 200 or so residents, for the most part, have something to do with the distillery. One distillery, one road, one pub, one hotel, one shop, and one whirlpool. That spiciness lingers throughout the mouth for a while, especially at the back and roof of the mouth, and fades to a warm tingling and then to a warm honeyed sweetness.Jura, however, is known for one. That spiciness builds for a few seconds to relatively intense level, wavers a bit, and then takes on a flare of renewed intensity upon swallowing. That quickly takes on an increasingly intense spicy flavor, leading most prominently with nutmeg this time along with touches of the previously mentioned allspice and cloves. ![]() Palate: Flows onto the tongue like honey, in a way that is both exceptionally sweet and with surprisingly viscous texture that quickly the coats the tongue (I typically get that feeling more toward the finish). That gradually transitions into a sweeter, mellower mix in which honey and slightly tart green apples are the primary flavors – almost pushing into sauvignon blanc territory – with a touch of the aforementioned spices and faint floral notes. Nose: Hits the nose with a moderately abrupt blast of spicy citrus dominated by oak, cloves, and allspice, with notes of lemon and oats, and evened out by a touch of honey. Once the barley has been mashed, it is fermented and then distilled through Jura's 28-foot tall copper-pot stills.

Part of the new core range of whiskies launched by Isle of Jura in early 2018, this 10 year old expression takes the place of Jura Origin. Jura Single Malts werden auf der einsamen Hebriden Insel Jura gebrannt. History aside, I’ve preferred to see the symbol as representing the cyclical nature of the world, which seems fitting as Origin apparently enters its waning days. Jura previously indicated that the triskele is the Celtic symbol for birth and beginnings. This time both parties opted for a 28-year-old Isle of Jura from 1992. ![]() It is certainly not the first time that the German The Whisky Agency joins forces with the Japanese Three Rivers.

Wavelength Isle of Jura 28 Year Old 1992 The Whisky Agency. Of Jura’s old primary quartet of whiskies placed on a four-corner scale of peated versus unpeated and heavy versus delicate, Origin sits on the lighter side of both.

As the number suggests, Jura 10 is aged for 10 years in American white oak, ex-bourbon barrels and finished in ex-Oloroso sherry casks which Jura’s website calls the perfect marriage of Highland and Island styles. ![]()
