Jura has a fascinating house style. They mostly produce unpeated whiskey, but for a few weeks per year they make a very heavily peated style. All of their OB releases in the modern era are a blend of these two whiskies resulting in a light to moderate peated whisky that has a remarkable amount of depth and complexity to accompany its bracing salinity. Long a confusing mix of whisky styles and varying age statements, Jura has streamlined and introduced a 12 year in this modern house style. Aged in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Oloroso Sherry for a sweeter rounder profile the new Jura 12 offers honeyed sweetness, dark chocolate, citrus zest, and a touch of salt and smoke.
