- Description
- Jura's 1994 vintage matured for 30 years in refill American oak, preserving the distillery's signature unpeated, maritime style at cask strength. Expect a spirit-forward character with unexpected elegance: dry Chenin Blanc-like minerality, peach blossom, waxy citrus peel, chamomile, and toffee create a complex, evolving profile. A rarified dram for contemplative drinking, celebrating how extended wood contact deepens rather than overwhelms island character.
