Because there are better options around the same price, I’m going to mark this as Not Recommended. At around $40 a bottle, I would probably choose Glenlivet 12 or Glenfiddich 12 or Speyburn 10 over this. The vanilla and green fruits, grass, and disappointing finish are hallmarks of a not-quite-ready-yet malt from (possibly) refill bourbon casks. Overall: A fairly standard ex-bourbon malt without much age on it. The palate, however, is markedly sweeter with notes of egg custard, vanilla pudding, and a thicker body. With Water: A few drops of water intensifies the green banana notes without contributing anything else. Raw sugar cane, plus some slightly bitter wood tannins, which fade quickly into faint dry woodiness. Palate: Moderately creamy body, with an initial wave of vanilla, followed by freshly-mown grass, unripe fruit, aloe juice, and dry wood notes.įinish: Short. Some sweet florals – honeysuckle – and a strong presence of green banana. Nose: Clean and crisp, with notes of green apple and fresh pears. This review is from a Jura tasting pack (50ml glass miniatures) with the 43% ABV presentation. It’s hard to tell from the information online, but the 40% might be for the domestic 700ml European market, while the 43% might be for the US 750ml market. Note that Jura appears to bottle the 10 year-old Origin at both 43% and 40% ABV. While there is a small amount of peat in the water used by Jura, I can’t discern it in the glass. As an entry-level, unpeated, and non-sherried malt, it showcases the “blank slate” that Jura’s house character is grown from. The much more reasonably-priced 10 year bottling (also labelled “Jura Origin”) is aged exclusively in ex-bourbon casks and is not peated. After liking Jura 16 and the NAS Jura Superstition, I thought I should explore the rest of the range.
