The Isle of Jura The Paps 19yo PX Sherry Finish Travel Retail Exclusive is a whisky that boasts an impressive maturation journey. Aged for 19 years, this expression is carefully matured in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in hand-selected Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks that once held 40-year-old Pedro Ximenez Sherry wines. Bottled at 45.6% ABV, this whisky offers a robust and complex flavor profile. The Isle of Jura is a remote and rugged island off the west coast of Scotland, characterized by its harsh, rocky landscape and a sense of isolation. The island is famous for the Paps of Jura, three distinctive mountains that dominate the skyline and have captivated both islanders and travelers for centuries. This unique geographical setting significantly influences the character of the whisky produced here. The Jura distillery has roots dating back to 1810. The current distillery was reconstructed in 1958 by two locals aiming to boost the local economy and create jobs. Today, the distillery produces over 2 million liters of whisky annually and employs 12 people, making up 17% of the island's population. The Paps 19yo expression, exclusive to travel retail, is a tribute to these iconic mountains. Finished in PX Sherry casks, it encapsulates the rugged beauty of Jura in its packaging and marketing. The whisky presents a rich and multifaceted flavor, with hints of dried fruits, spices, and a maritime character.

However, some find it unbalanced, with a strong wood bitterness dominating the palate and finish. Others appreciate its complex aromas but feel it lacks depth for a 19-year-old whisky. The overall sentiment is that while this whisky offers a unique and rich profile, it may not appeal to everyone, particularly those sensitive to bitter notes or expecting a more mature experience.
