When we're reading other peoples' work, this helps us arrive at meaning faster by using less brain power. When we're proof reading our own work, we know the meaning we want to convey. Old Isle of Jura whisky needed a change, so they could get to more people and vindicate the capacity of their small island distillery to produce good whisky. That change arrived with its new, revamped range: Signature Series. Jura 18 year old is the top of the range. This single malt, created with a blend of both peated and unpeated spirit, has been aged in American Oak barrels and finished in red wine barrels. In the glass, Jura 18 is honeyed, with some reddish tones. On the nose, it follows the style of the Signature Series range. It is quite light and herbaceous, with white grape notes. There are also sweet fragrances of milk chocolate and toasted coffee. With a splash of water, there are some slightly peated aromas and a cherry touch. On the palate, it shows a more sherried side. This is a Scotch that starts with a sweet blow to slowly fade to bitter and spicier notes. Chocolate and charcoal notes blend with a touch of raisins and dry fruits. The finish is a bit lengthy, with chocolate notes and a light touch of smoke. Jura wanted to update its brand to get to a new target, and it may be working for them. ![]() A fresh brand can get to a new consumer and open their eyes to the whisky world. But, in the process, they forgot about whisky lovers, because the new range is not for them. Jura 18 Year Old should be the icing of the cake, but it doesn’t get to the level of its small brother, Jura Seven Wood (which, for me, is the best whisky in the range). Jura 18 is just another whisky for beginners, despite the upper-middle age statement. is retailed at $90, while prices in Europe range around €90 and £70. The Whiskey Reviewer uses a letter-based rating system, instead of the numerical 100-grade rating system. The following indicators should be taken as only a guide and not a set of hard and fast rules. Venous blood (2 ml) was collected from each subject into a tube containing 50 mM EDTA and genomic DNA was isolated from the total blood samples by the standard phenol-chloroform method, or by use of a DNA isolation kit Dr GenTLE (Takara, Osaka Japan) or an automated DNA extraction system MagExtractor MFX-2000 (Toyobo, The entire mitochondrial genome was amplified as 6 fragments (A to F), each approximately 3.0 kb in length, by a symmetric PCR method with the primer pairs (L and H primers) shown in The entire mitochondrial genome was amplified as 6 fragments by the first PCR, and then 60 overlapping segments were amplified by the second PCR, essentially as described previously (Tanaka et al., Methods in Enzymology, 1996). MgCl 2, 0.2 mM concentration of each dNTP, 0.5 or 1.0 Μl, containing 200 ng human genomic DNA, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3), 50 mM KCl, 1.5 mM PCR amplification was carried out in a final reaction volume of 40 The sequences of primers L and H are shown in The oligonucleotide primers, synthesized and purified by gel filtration, were obtained from Bio-Synthesis (Lewisville, Texas). ΜM concentration of each primer, and 1 unit of Taq DNA polymerase (Takara, Shiga, Japan). The PCR conditions used were the following: an initial denaturation step at 94✬ for 5 min, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 94✬ for 15 s, annealing at 52-62✬ for 15 s, and extension at 72✬ for 3 min, with a final extension of 10 min at 72✬. Table 2 shows the primer concentration and annealing temperature used for amplification of each fragment. PCR amplifications were carried out in a final reaction volume of 20 The FL primer was a 38-mer oligonucleotide, consisting of an 18-base sequence of an universal forward sequencing primer (-21M13, 5'-TGTAAACGCGGCCAGT-3') connected on its 5' side to the 3' side of a 20-base L-strand-specific sequence The sequence of primers H and FL are shown in The first PCR DNA templates for the sequence analysis of the entire mitochondrial genome were amplified as 60 overlapping segments (1 to 60), each of approximately 600-1000 bp, by a symmetric PCR method with the primer pairs (FL and H primers) shown in The amplified fragments were analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel and visualized by staining with ethidium bromide. ![]()
