Isle of Jura 10 Year Old

@vrudy6, thanks for your review. I never liked my brother-in-law's bottle of Jura 10 UNTIL it had been open for around 2 years time. At that time it mellowed out and lost a lot of its rough edges. Two years out it actually became surprisingly GOOD. (No, I would not have believed it either before it happened.) You wouldn't lose anything by just setting your bottle aside for a long wait. No one gets too excited by drinking 67 pt whiskies now anyway. I'm just sayin'...

@vrudy6, have you tried the 16 yet? I'm still curious about it, but also rather apprehensive. A side by side might be interesting. Then again it might not be. As @Victor said, this does improve with time, although in my experience the bottle only got marginally better (I believe my bottle lasted just over a year). Thanks for another good write-up!

vrudy6 I felt much the same as you about Jura 10 . I marked it at 72 and didn't really think it should have been released yet because it needed a couple more years in the cask. So I looked around online and came to conclusion that I would have to leave it 9 months to oxidize . Recently that 9 month wait had passed and I tasted it again and the improvement was both dramatic and surprising. It's become a very nice whisky indeed and I would now mark it at 85. I suggest that you do the same ,put it away for a while and revisit it in the future

@hunggar, I haven't tried the 16, and to be honest, I'm reluctant to try it after tasting this one. Furthermore, the 16 goes for around $75. There are a lot more single malts at that price range that I would like to try first.

Maltmate302, as for leaving it for months on end, as also @victor suggested, for the sake of science, I will leave the remaining for another eight months and see what happens. Thanks!

Quite pricey for a 10yr old entry level whisky. This Jura for me goes down harsh and not very easy to drink.

If you're going to buy a Jura you should go for the older ages.
