Isle of Jura 5 years old, bottled for Royal Mile Whiskies, 58.4%

Nose: Cornish fudge, peat, butterscotch, burnt. With water there’s a distinct tinge of an open fire.

Palate: Ashes, tobacco (smoke), freezer, metallic, rock.

Comments: Very, very good for a Jura. Confirms my impression that young, peaty Jura’s are worth buying when you find them.

Score: 7 out of 10
