It tastes quite engineered, and somehow tastes like no whisky really should. ![]() I don't think that higher alcohol content is always better in weird whiskies. 40% is about right for it for me, as I don't want that Jura weirdness to be much more intense. It has quite a bit of character, although I am still not altogether convinced i like the Jura character. This bottle I have just bought is pretty nice, in an odd sort of way. I remember half-regretting spending that £9.50 then, as I thought that it was completely characterless. Never had it again so far.īerfore this, the last time I bought a bottle of Jura 10, I got it for under £10, although it was on offer half price at that time (around 2004?).

Mouthfeel was soft, very quick on the sip (I mean, it wasn't oily or velvety and you gulped it down almost as if drinking water). I remember checking their webpage and their saying it had loads of honey and my trying hard to find it -but no way, José.

Jura 10 bottle is totally transparent and colorless, which leads us to this peculiar note about the hue: if you see the bottle, the scotch looks amber to reddish with some brown highlights, but if you pour a dram, it's straw yellow with a slightly greenish cast to it. Take that into account as I'm aware Jura has changed recipes throughout the years. This, as is not uncommon with me, is an old review: it dates back to Aug 24, 2014.
