The Isle of Jura 21yo Bourbon and Sherry Casks whisky is a continuation of the distillery's 200th anniversary edition, released in 2012 with an increased alcohol content of 44%. This exquisite single malt whisky is distilled in the village of Craighouse, named after its place of creation, and stands out as the only malt whisky produced on the Isle of Jura. The whisky is aged for 21 years, primarily in bourbon casks, with a portion spending time in first fill sherry casks and refilled bourbon casks. The cask finish, involving vintage 1963 oloroso sherry casks—the same year the distillery re-established itself—imbues the whisky with a rich and complex character. It boasts a dark ruby color and a nose of orange chocolate, soft marzipan, and a hint of crushed walnuts. The palate reveals flavors of maraschino cherries, citrus fruits, and soft liquorice, leading to a flawless finish of soft marzipan, crushed walnuts, and bitter chocolate. This 21-year-old single malt is a wonderful and exclusive addition to the Jura family, showcasing its vintage cask heritage.

Reviewers appreciate the Isle of Jura 21yo for its unique and rich character, which reflects the island's distinct ambiance. The nose presents dough, walnut, cedar wood shavings, apricot, dried dates, and plums, while the palate offers a gentle, soft balance of sweet, earthy, and savory notes. The finish is mineral-like with oak spices and a hint of leather, although some find it slightly acidic and short. Overall, the whisky's complexity and the Jura distillery experience make it a memorable and exclusive choice, though it may not be universally loved.
