Description
The ability of Jura’s tiny island community to reimagine and reinvent has allowed our distillery to thrive. Such vision has brought to life this complex single malt – a fitting tribute to our Master Blender’s skill. Thanks to the forestry commission, sawmill and cooperage in France, we use the finest virgin French oak casks to enhance our whisky.
Layers of complexity and flavour emerge from a maturation journey that begins in American White Oak ex bourbon casks before a portion of the whisky is split between six different virgin oak casks sourced from across various regions of France.
The result is a fruity and spicy whisky with flavours of crème caramel, baked peach and sweet liquorice.
-
Nose
Perfumed notes of summer meadows lead into chocolate-covered raisins and rich, creamy oats. Hints of menthol follow, accompanied a mixture of red jams: strawberry and raspberry. Weightier dried fruit notes build, accompanied by a hint of something fresher and more tropical.
-
Palate
Rich and creamy, with coffee and chocolate initially swamped by toasted spice notes: cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper. Crunchy apples and pears roll in along with freshly squeezed oranges and their zest.
-
Finish
Mint chocolate notes linger on the palate, with apple skin and a touch of creamy coffee.
