20th day of The Whisky Advent Calender from the guys at Drink By The Dram brings the Isle of Jura Elixer 12 year old bottled at 40%. There is not much about this dram I can find about the make up of it sadly…
On the nose I get some vanilla pipe tobacco, plums, oak and iodine. Winegums, macademia and walnuts, lots of sulphur, coffee and toffee. Not a very pleasant nose to me sadly. I let it sit there for a while to see if it would change but it stayed much the same…
Tasting it I get lot from notes from the nose mixed with some oily and metallic feel to it. Lots of citrus acidity it seems with honey running through it all. Not a very long finish but has some sweetness to it from coffee, chocolate, vanilla and toffee. Not my favourite dram… Scoring me an 6,5 out of 10.
