Isle of Jura Rum Cask Finish

Slightly rum fruits but very subtle. Jura distillery character, we will not delight

Color - bright light copper; Nose - vanilla, wood, rum, leather and tobacco, licorice; Taste - clear notes and smoothness of rum, some vanilla and dark chocolate, very round in the mouth; Finish - flat and medium long

A pleasant fruity whisky with notes of tropical fruits. Mango, banana, guava

Well then... I opened the NAS Jura Rum Cask Finish last night and tried it... Anyone who has tasted fine rum will be disappointed in taste... But that's not to say that the Jura Rum Cask Finish is all bad... Styled down to 40 revolutions, it comes across as pleasantly mild and sweet... There is no smoky note like the Superstition... When the finish reverberates, there is a taste of rum... but I can't swear to whether that's actually coming from my taste buds, or whether it's an olfactory reminder of my memory... Ergo: recommended, but not a must have...

Bought this from ASDA - on a special deal £10 off so £29. Not the best Jura I've had, was hoping more from a rum cask finished edition, but it's on the little bland side for me. Nothing bad as such, but not a lot of character or identity.

Overall, it has a more lively, layered, and promising feel on the nose, but on the palate and finish there's a lack of body, a more homogeneous sweetness, and a watery, superficial taste. The lingering effect on the palate is short-lived. Despite everything, it's a pleasant everyday whisky that's smooth enough for everyone and performs well for its price.

Actually, it wasn't as bad as I expected; the fact that it was a bit underpowered and subjected to poor dilution held it back. Without those, it still wouldn't be amazing, of course, but it might have been a bit more interesting. At least it allows us to explore some effects that we can attribute to rum barrels, at a fairly reasonable price. Price-performance ratio: Average, Average-good. Would I repurchase?: It's a more suitable bottling for entry-level users, unfortunately no.

A little more alcohol would have been good for the whisky, despite the rum finish it doesn't taste like rum, but it's still pleasant to drink.

This deliciously smooth yet vibrant whisky offers aromas of sweet vanilla, caramel, coconut and spicy tropical notes.Amber yellow to bronze. For the PLV, a very good introduction to the world of whisky with a surprising number of nuances

Jamaican rum cask?

Perfectly serviceable, wouldn't seek it out if it hadn't been a gift. Appearance - A mass-market 40%-er with e150 -'nuff said. Nose - Buttery fudge, green apple skins, milk chocolate. Vanilla extract. White spirits, hay, Taste - Very thin, forward mouthfeel. Newmake spirit pricks the front of the tongue and not much else. New leather, a light spread of marmite on sourdough, vague lemon curd. Tenderstem broccoli. Light oak char/sweet smoke pipe ash. Finish - Short to medium: spirit prickles toward back of the mouth/throat. BBQ embers, sweetness from the rum fades away first. Autumn leaves/must, oak.

It tastes even worse to me today. The basic Jura taste, which I generally don't like too much, is undercut by a rancid, strange taste in the nose and mouth. For me, it doesn't even pass as whisky that you can drink on the side, it's gone.

The third in Jura’s Cask Editions series sees a finish in ex-Rum Casks after a period of ex-Bourbon cask maturation. Whisky maker Gregg Glass uses it to experiment with different cask finishes, in this case Caribbean rum. Previously there was a sherry and red wine edition as well.

Not what I expected

Insignificant, meaningless whisky. He is obliging if you get involved with it. But neither the rum finish can be guessed, nor do I like the basic note of the whisky.

PLV is great. Bought in a supermarket in France for 23 euros (11/2022)

"THE PERFECT EXOTIC ESCAPE, MADE BY A TINY ISLAND COMMUNITY Jura Cask Editions celebrate the connection between the land and spirit. Bringing distinct regional flavours of selected casks from around the world to our island malt. This rum cask edition explores the world of cask finishes from the Caribbean. This mouth-wateringly smooth, yet vibrant whisky delivers flavours of sweet vanilla, fudge, coconut and spiced tropical notes." N: Very nice and fresh right away. The typical Jura funk with fresh banana. Some coconut enters with pineapple and some mango perhaps. Has a nice vanilla and caramel sweetness to it. Some fresh oak. (85) P: Enters with a nice spicy note, it feels a bit more than 40% and that's good. Maybe I'd say around 45% or in that ballpark. Coconut with pineapple. Sweet exotic fruits. A nice peach compote note. It has a very nice burnt sugar rum note that I love. (86) F: Could be a little longer. Has a nice spicy "goodbye" with sweet rum notes. (80) Overall this is nice. Not a must have but a recommended bottle. 85 / 86 / 80 = 83.667 --> 84 pts / 100

Sweet and fruity in the mouth. Slight smoke flavor, like grilling pineapple. My new favorite whisky for whisky sour.

Review: https://www.teschke.hamburg/home/tasting-notes/

Pours clear, pale golden. Scent is rich, vanilla, dried apricot. mild wood. Taste is smooth and sweet, silky , mild on the booze. Caramel, dried fruits. Bit of a sharp edge to it. Vanilla, very malty finish.

Very thin, extremely short finish

It's okay, provided that you like the Jura character. Rum finish can only be guessed at very subtly.

no purchase candidate for me the barrel of rum came through too little

Had this one during a blind tasting. Surprised to learn that this was a Rum Cask Jura. Although it's gateway whisky, it has a lot to offer... It's more then just easy sweetness. Lovely nose with a dirty and tropical touch. The low ABV is very fitting. Very drinkable. Beautiful balance between sweets and dryness, feint smoke and exotic maritime influences.

Malty-peaty with some rum, smell good, taste citrusy-grapey, well

Generic and uneventful. Even though very cheap I still wouldn’t buy another bottle

Nase: Süß, Vanille, etwas Ananas, Orange, Birne, Malz, Eiche | Geschmack: Süß, Vanille, leicht würzig, Apfel, Malz, etwas Apfelschale, etwas Eiche | Abgang: Mittellang; süßes Malz mit etwas Apfel, Apfelschale und dezenter Eiche bleiben. | Fazit: Die Nase beginnt süß mit hellen Früchten und einem leicht tropischen Einschlag. Etwas Ananas, Orange und Birne kommen zusammen mit Vanille. Dazu gibt es Malz und Eiche. Der Geschmack startet süß mit viel Vanille. Dazu eine leichte würzige Note. Apfel und Malz kommen dann. Eine leicht herbe Note die mich an Apfelschale erinnert folgt. Etwas Eiche ist ebenfalls da. Ein solider Whisky. Leider setzt sich das Rum Fass im Geschmack nicht wirklich durch. Der Whisky ist nicht super komplex aber in sich stimmig. Fehlnoten habe ich keine. | 84-85 Punkte

Really not good. I do not know why Jura bother with this awful bottling - it does their brand no good whatsoever. Apparently it was 'created' in 1 litre bottles for duty free sales, which didn't happen 'cos covid. So the UK supermarkets bought it and discounted heavily. £22 for a Litre 40% The worst bottle I have bought in the last three years. I honestly would prefer a grain whisky to this.

**Nose:** Slightly overripe banana, green leaves, general greenhouse smell, salt and slight peat in the background. **Palate:** Salt, banana jelly candy, rum soaked raisins, sugary sweetness. **Finish:** Short, banana candy, paint remover, coffee grounds, earthy peat.

If you like pina colada, you’ll like this, as the similarities are em so evident through the tropical tastes, particularity banana with the addition of that creamy topping , which leaves a really pleasant taste which lingers . Overall,a pleasant ,smooth cocktail type whisky whicvery smooth

A delicate, inviting aroma with a pronounced sweetness of honey and vanilla. Bright fruits such as pineapple, citrus, and crisp apples dance lightly with a subtle hint of raisins. A hint of straw and a fruity undertone round out the aromatic picture. The first impression is pleasantly cool and sweet. Soft vanilla and fresh malt combine with ripe apple and a touch of oak. A subtle spiciness slowly unfolds, accompanied by cane sugar, which provides elegant depth. Medium-length with a light, comforting warmth. Vanilla and honey linger pleasantly, while a delicate spice with a hint of apricot emerges in the finish.

Sample from my Advent calendar.

I was expecting something quite "classic" and it was a surprise to note a sweet exotic presence, of banana, vanilla, guava. Aging in Caribbean rum barrels offers a more subtle ensemble than the range would suggest. Not being a big fan of this universe, I admit that it ultimately does its job well.

Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky RUM CASK Finish is the third edition of the Jura Cask edition. It matures in bourbon barrels. This whisky receives its finish in barrels that previously held Caribbean rum.

You can't fault this whisky at all, with 46% it would be a dream
