Even if you like experiments, this is not really exceptional. It’s entirely about (diluted) wood flavours and doesn’t find the right balance. That said, it’s not as bad as some other reviewers say. Available from TWE or Master of Malt. Now other changes, perhaps more fundamental in nature, are afoot. Jura’s entire line is being rebooted. By April of 2018, there will be no more Origin, Superstition or Prophecy bottlings from Jura. They will be replaced by 3 new age statement releases (10,12 and 18 years old) and 2 non-age statement releases, Journey and Seven Wood. 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. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). This release is first aged in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels, after which it is “enhanced” by some time in six French Oak casks (Limousin, Tronçais, Allier, Vosges, Jupilles & Les Bertranges) making up Seven Woods and giving use the name of this 42% ABV single malt.If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Excerpt: Those looking for something off the beaten path may quite enjoy this, but it does tend to wander fairly far afield and never finds much in the way of balance.

The island of Jura sits next-door to a much more famous member of the Hebrides, Islay. Like that island known for its peaty whisky, Jura is home to its own whisky distillery, and some might know it as the island where George Orwell wrote the novel, 1984. The fact that it has a larger population of deer than people might speak to the open, quiet spaces that attracted the writer when he needed solitude.

Whisky reviews for Isle of Jura Seven Wood

Sweet and spicy with a bit of chilli pepper tingling on the tongue. Very crisp. Orchard fruits (pear, apple) and lemon play well with a gentle pinch of pepper and some caramel and vanilla extract. A bit of wood dryness but quite soft. Finish King of Trees 10yo is the first creation of The Whisky Works. The concept behind it began with the thought of using native Scottish oak. This would not be the first time someone used Scottish oak, but it was something Gregg Glass wanted to experiment with. He went to sawmills in the Highlands to learn more about it, and spent some time to research and source Scottish oak. The goal was to use Scottish oak for a finish and not a full maturation. They used two windfall trees from a single estate in the Highlands, aged between 160 and 220 years old. Why windfall trees? Because they didn’t want to cut down trees unless necessary. Scottish Oak rarely yields the knot-free staves needed for making a cask, but these fallen elder trees provided suitable timber for just one single cask. Quite the ‘christmassy’ dram this. Moist fruit cake, cream, copper and herbs. Plenty of sweetness, buttery, Christmas spices and herbs. Lots going on! Spicy, fruity, floral, it makes me think of an edible and peppery flower called “capucine” in France, or nasturtium in Shakespeare’s wordification. Cough syrup, ginger, mint again (almost peppermint), wood, caramel concentrate, with a buttery mouthfeel. I don’t drink Cognac often, but I do retrieve some grape flavours making me think of this double-distilled grape must eau-de-vie that is Cognac.
