PROVENANCE Jura 12Y Coastal Collection - 04.2006 Limited Edition - 48%

Jura 12 Years Old Coastal Collection (48%, Douglas Laing’s Provenance, C# 12576)

Nose: Plenty of vanilla and cookie dough, as well as some honey and a graininess. Soft whispers of barley, accompanied by a certain yeastiness, as well as dried grass, straw, hay, etc. There’s a touch of underripe banana peel there, followed by some sea air. Well-rounded stuff.
Taste: Quite sweet, with a good amount of peach and nectarine, but also a proper serving of brown sugar, and even some molasses. It has this greener, coastal side to balance things though. Also, a hint of cracked black pepper and cloves, giving it some more body.
Finish: Lingering spices, some oak. Medium in length.

Score: 86

Jura has such an iffy reputation, that I’m almost surprised I like this as much as I do. The balance between distillate and cask is top-notch here. The island itself is seriously beautiful, one of my favourite spots in Scotland. I should pay a little more attention to the whisky produced there.
