{"product_id":"isle-of-jura-21-year-old-tide-single-malt-scotch-whisky-750ml","title":"Isle of Jura 21 Year Old Tide Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJura is a remote island in the Inner Hebrides, with fewer than 250 people, one road, and a single distillery, in a place where whisky has been made since 1810. Its stills are among the tallest in Scotland, and its spirit is a blend of unpeated and heavily peated malts that results in a clean, sweet, lightly smoky whisky. The 21 Year Old Tide is the oldest permanent bottling in the range, part of Jura’s Rare \u0026amp; Aged collection, introduced in late 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s matured for 21 years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in hand-selected virgin American white oak casks, a finish that adds vanilla, coconut, and sweet spice, and which gives the whisky its “sweet, fruity, and nutty flavour,” in the distillery’s words. It’s bottled at 46.7% ABV (93.4 proof), a notch higher than the usual 40-44%, and the color is “satin wood honey gold.” As reviewers point out, there’s no sherry cask here: this is a sweet, oaky, bourbon-and-virgin-oak malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJura’s tasting notes: “Nose: Crème caramel, sweet fruit salad, ginger, desiccated coconut and marzipan. Taste: Macaroon, gingerbread, frangipane, and white chocolate,” ending with a sweet, nutty finish. Whisky Advocate described it as “deliciously smoky like autumnal garden bonfires, with aromas of banana and treacle muffin, papaya, gingerbread, antique oak, worn leather, vanilla pod, oak tannins, and walnut shells. Flavors of baked apple, chocolate-chip cookies, woodsmoke, ginger, dark honey, clove, allspice, and pepper, then marzipan and more oak, before becoming a touch leathery. It finishes with feisty spices and tobacco smoke, plus flashes of lemon curd sweetness.” WhiskyNotes (84\/100) found it “leathery and spicy, with plenty of sweet woody touches,” and “quite a robust and generously oaked Jura,” with “big bourbonny notes all over the place.” The Whiskybase community rates it 85.9 out of 100 across 55 ratings, and one expert found it “more on the dark side,” reminiscent of “the standard 15s and 21s from Glenfarclas,” with “dark preserved fruits, forest honey, dry sherry, cinnamon and cardamom,” though “there are no sherry casks.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s a sweet, spiced, oak-forward 21-year-old for customers who like dessert-like malts, at a more approachable price than many whiskies of its age. A good gift, and a fine sipper after dinner. Enjoy it neat or with a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIsle of Jura 21 Year Old Tide Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced at Jura Distillery on the Isle of Jura, Scotland (Whyte \u0026amp; Mackay), aged 21 years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished in hand-selected virgin American white oak casks. 46.7% ABV \/ 93.4 proof, 750ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhisky Advocate (score not shown):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Matured in bourbon barrels and finished in virgin American oak.
