58 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 81.51 points

  1. Calmar scored this whisky 80 points Connoisseur

    A rather weak release, all the advantages of the distillery, which are present here rather in their infancy, are overlapped by youth and unfinishedness, the taste here was the most successful, but only in comparison with aroma and finish.
    • Nose
      Restrained, dry, very youthful notes - dust, cardboard, flavored with sweet raisins, dried medicinal herbs and freshly sawn boards; coated tablets, a few nuts, grains, light coffee notes.
    • Taste
      Soft, quite saturated, the continuation of the aroma, the same young, not fully formed notes - dust, cardboard, grain, coated tablets, raisins, sweet syrup motifs, licorice, more oak, burnt branches, more coffee, dark chocolate.
    • Finish
      Soft, slender, oak, charred branches, dark chocolate, coffee.

  2. Moses scored this whisky 78 points Connoisseur

    I wouldn't buy it today. But then he was a real surprise. Above all, the finish is remarkable, for such a barrel mix, respect.
    • Nose
      Greetings from the apple. A touch of forest fruits and honey from the forest. Grain Malt and again grain.
      Some mint.
    • Taste
      Too sweet for me, honey and malt mix, becoming slightly bitter, mild coffee. Little to no fruit. Unfortunately without leaving an impression.
    • Finish
      Honey, sweet and walnut-like, it ends this tasting very pleasantly. Actually, the departure shouldn't end at all.
      The final was really nice.

  3. Malthead19 scored this whisky 81 points Connoisseur

    - a very great fruity whisky with no age information
    - good representative from the island of Jura
    - for the then price of approx. 40-50 € the liter absolute
    recommendable
    • Nose
      very pleasant sweet, floral fruity note, clear fruit (cherries, grapes and especially dark berries), some honey, hint of vanilla
    • Taste
      Strong at the start, the sweetness, the dark berries and something malty caramel appear on the tongue, very fruity; then some spice / oak comes up; nice mouth volume
    • Finish
      Medium-long finish, fruity note gradually fades away

  4. Malty1797 scored this whisky 65 points Member Senior

    I still have some mixed emotions about this one.
    The bottle starts quite fruity and promising but diminishes as the filling level decreases, maybe this would have been an overall better bottling as a 0,7L bottle?
    • Nose
      66 66
      nice darker fruityness, little bit of port with plums and cherries
    • Taste
      65 65
      same fruits but some odd stale cardboard flavour as well
    • Finish
      64 64
      some bitterness creeping in

  6. Igor scored this whisky 83 points Expert Senior

    The idea to age whisky in more than two casks types is always a tough task, and a certain risk of course, a gamble. But here, it went without fail, I call it rather a successful one. Oak types giving their best, the oaky impact balanced well enough. Not bad at all, nice take.
    • Nose
      85 85
      Quite rich and fragrant, perfumed almost (male perfume), with good intensity. Vinous dried fruit, dried apricots, dried pears perhaps, candied fruit (apple), caramelized, sugared orange, hints of cigar box in the distance, red wood, a tad chocolaty maybe.
    • Taste
      84 84
      Initially sweet, dark-sweet, overriped plums, marmalade, apricot jammyness, spiced, lacquered oak (nicely), fruit-and-candy combo, full, thick texture, quite intense again. The fruitiness goes off, wood spice comes in, cardamom, nutmeg, dried oak. Getting drier, spicier.
    • Finish
      82 82
      Warm and drying at the last stage, spicy-dry, woodsy, leafy-dry, herbal, herb tea, bitter-dry and orange-gingery, orange peel. Aftertaste lasts quite some time.

  7. DramTimeDE scored this whisky 84 points Expert Senior

    For me, this is the second bottle of Turas Mara. The first one (bought 2013/2014) surprised me with strong but tender notes and an explosion of taste while swirling in the mouth.

    After i heard they are stopping the series, i needed a new one. 1Liter for 49 Euros. A little bit less intense i have to say, but also my palette developed a lot in the last years...

    still a good value whisky for me. a little sad that they stopped it.

    • Nose
      80 80
      Honey, raisins, fresh fruits but not too intense, the influence of port pipe and wine cask is not very notable
    • Taste

      Spicy, dry, oak, sherry
    • Finish

      Short
