Jura Elixir - 12 Year Old
Details
Long has it been believed that the water of Jura has mystical, life-giving qualities. Some say it was blessed by St. Columba around 560AD. The Islanders certainly have a history of longevity, and stories tell of a man who lived to see 180 Christmases on the island. An ancient gravestone not far from the distillery lies as testament to this tale.
Whether this is fact, rumour, myth or legend, one thing is true, the islanders can certainly control the aging process. Albeit only when it comes to whisky!
Finished in a mix of American white oak and Sherry casks, this combination of flavours includes crushed almonds, pineapple and fresh roasted coffee.
The palate is rewarded with hints of citrus fruits, dark toffee and ginger spice.
Fruity and Spicy.
Distilled at Isle of Jura Distillery.
