Isle of Jura 24 Year Old 1988 The Whisky Agency

The German bottler The Whisky Agency released this 24 Year Old Jura in collaboration with Bresser & Timmer from Holland. How they divided the cask is irrelevant, let us focus on the contents which is rumoured to be very good. I am putting it H2H with the Isle of Jura 1988 from the Whiskyman, released exclusively for Sweden.

Apple and menthol, leather and peat. That is the essence of this great nose. Fairly clean and straightforward, although it becomes more fruity if you leave it to breath for a while. It also has a great coastal side.

The attack is quite powerful with a lot of licquorice. The fruit evolves towards a slight bitterness from grapefruit. In the meantime, a salty side also emerges. Waxy!

The medium long finish is very salty and almost perfect.

This is a top Jura! Very complex and exciting.
