Isle of Jura 10yo (40%, OB, 2006, new presentation)

Colour: Gold

Nose: Notes of dried oranges, more honey, more liquorice. It’s almost a bold whisky with lots of presence.

Mouth: Lots of liquorice, gingerbread, chestnut honey, cloves, then quite some orange marmalade. They must have increased the amount of sherry casks in the vatting, and that worked beautifully.

The finish is long, satisfying, compact, spicy and honeyed. Very good, excellent progress I think.
