Isle of Jura Elixir

Legacy, Aged 10 Years

ABV 40%

Not as enticing as the older versions. Lacks depth but it has nothing to do with youth. Water kills it down.

Palate: Sweet, a bit soft and watery in the middle. Toffee and honey.

Finish: Short, dry. Nutty.

Comment: Not as enticing as the older versions. Lacks depth but it has nothing to do with youth. Water kills it down.

Score: 7

Palate: Nutty, crunchy, hazelnut. Grass. Unctuous feel. Sweet in the centre.

Finish: Crisp. Dry grass.

Comment: Seems bulkier than I recall.
