The distillery at the Isle of Jura has taken a new path. That is why they couldn’t choose a better name for the entry whisky of their new Signature Series range: Jura Journey. This small Scottish island is (in)famous for having just one road, one pub, one distillery, and a population of only 200. Deer outnumber people there. All told, it’s a fine whisky to start off an evening, but there’s nothing overwhelmingly unique or compelling in focus here. The good news: It’s delightfully affordable, so your risk of disappointment is decidedly low.

The taste starts with the soft peat smoke, and then the wave of vanilla washes over you. Although the large southern Hebridean island of Jura has always been sparsely populated, it has a fascinating distilling heritage. In the 18th century,it was reported that islanders made spirit from rowan berries, as well as using the bitter fruit to acidulate their whisky punch.

Jura Journey is a simple and plain whisky, which is hard to go deeper. For the same price, you should find a handful of scotch (and non-scotch) whisky brands that will surely give you way more. Soon after, hints of smokey pear and crisp green apples arrive. As you glide towards the finish, you’ll get some bitterness and oaky spice. It is a soft and sweet start that feels like toffee sauce, cloves, and nutmeg. For those who are letting each note wash over them, they’ll get subtle cocoa hits too.On the palate, it is quite similar to the nose. Jura Journey is soft and creamy, though quite young and simple. The spirit herbaceous notes predominate, followed by sweet fruity notes. It is really fresh, with an almost imperceptible smoky touch. The finish is really short and a bit dry. In the glass, Jura Journey is pale yellow. On the nose, it is light and herbaceous. Some soft notes of white grape and pear with a slight citrus touch. There is a sweet side full of vanilla and shortbread, with small flashes of peat smoke. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

The palate changes the calculus a little, as the rolling granary notes and a moderate punch of alcohol evoke a high-class blended Scotch. A bit of lemon peel, some cut hay, and a modest nougat character add some needed nuance, but all is in service of the significant bill of granary notes. The finish sees some caramel apple- and banana-driven fruitiness, but it never strays far from the course. The fade-out sees a touch of smoke as a reprise.

Review: Jura Journey - Drinkhacker Review: Jura Journey - Drinkhacker

B and B-: Good and above average. The best of the mass market whiskeys fit in this category, as do the bulk of the premium brands. A B- is three stars. Jura Journey is the starting point of the new rage, a NAS scotch produced, as all the range, with a combination of peated and unpeated spirit that will give a slightly peated style. For Jura Journey, the whisky has been aged in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. It has been bottled at 40% abv, without chill-filtration and no added color.

Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. Reinventing a brand should be a strong bet on a full product, a whisky that everyone at the isle of Jura should be proud of. And though I feel bad about it, Jura Journey is not that whisky. While looking for new consumers, it seems that Jura has forgotten that what makes a whisky special is the richness of its nuances.
