As though someone has taken the flavour concentrate of a Highland whisky and added it to some colouring and a very immature light yellow whisky. The new distillery's architect was William Delmé-Evans, who had previously been involved with Tullibardine and later went on to build Glenallachie. The new distillery was producing malt more akin to the Highland style rather than the heavily-peated whisky of near-neighbours Islay, a strategy that has continued to bear fruit for Jura (although more experimental peated bottlings from the late 1990s are now finding their way to market, to some acclaim).

I too was not sure at first but soon realised that this has a lot to offer in terms of smell and taste and has a fairly long finish.
