In the hills behind the Jura Distillery, among the timeless beauty of the heather, yew and bracken, lie tranquil lochs and ancient wells. They are the source of the water used at the Distillery, and one of the island’s most endearing legends.
Long has it been believed that the water of Jura has mystical, life-giving properties. Some say it was blessed by St Columbia around 560AD. The islanders certainly have a history of longevity, and stories tell of a man who saw 190 Chirstmases in his own house on Jura. An ancient gravestone not far from the Distillery lies as testament to this tale.
Whether this is fact, myth or legend, one thing is true, the islanders can certainly control the aging process. Albeit only when it comes to whisky!
Elixir is finished in a mix of American White Oak and Sherry casks, this combination of flavours includes crushed almonds, pineapples and fresh roasted coffee. The palate is rewarded with hints of citrus fruit, dark toffee and ginger spice.
Nose : Fruity and quite sweet and sherried with hints of tobacco in addition to dried plums and dry cherubs. Some cinnamon and citrus in the edges. Quite some wood. It’s heavier than expected.
Palate : Sweet , and spicy. With dried fruit, wood spice, oak. A bit nutty and gingery. The sherry is king here. No doubt. Not much smoke, not at all .
Finish : Medium with chocolate powder , raisins and plums.
