Of the four whiskies in the current Jura stable, each attempts to sit in opposition to the other three in their flavour map with differing elements of light/richness, peatiness and complexity. I’d say perhaps not but it is hard to pass-by when on offer. The finish is slightly drying with a little coffee bitterness and oak wood lingers for reasonable length Would I buy it again: Muskovado sugar, honey, a little maple syrup but overall this reminds me of stewed apples Finish: Nevertheless it is well rounded and has a reasonable level of complexity to prevent it being bland. This is a very easy, slightly sweet and oaky whisky, I don’t favour it as much as the Jura Superstition perhaps as there are one or two elements of youth still in this dram. You should be able to pick up a bottle or Origin for £20 especially when the supermarkets run their festive offers. What do you taste?Įntry level expression from the Jura distillery, producing Island but not quite Islay single malt whisky.

Some say it tastes of oak with hints of honey, caramel and soft liquorice, but then again everyone is different.

Now comes the techie part: this is aged in ex-Bourbon casks for 10 years. Light and delicate with a warming honey finish

Pair it with scallops au gratin, lemon sultana pudding, Scottish brie and white chocolate. Origin is the whisky that began our story, so we think it’s best sipped at the start of the evening. It’s something that we added to our unique bottle because we thought it symbolised our unique story, and the whisky that is at the heart of everything we do. On the front of the bottle is a Celtic symbol for birth, beginnings and the forces of nature. It’s the whisky that signifies the rebuilding of our community and rebirth of the Jura distillery.
