Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 강한 피트 연기와 마른 풀, 옅은 소금기가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 40ppm으로 강하게 피트 처리된 쥬라 1999는 평소의 부드러운 캐릭터와 달리 또렷한 훈연이 향을 이끈다. 입에서는 60.9도의 높은 도수가 그을음과 후추, 보리를 거칠게 발전시키며 구조감이 단단하다. 섬 몰트다운 짭조름한 미네랄과 강한 피트가 뚜렷하게 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 재와 마른 장작의 여운이 길고 뜨겁게 남는다.

starts on loads of porridge and loads of caramel. Very heavy and very spicy – and rather oddly perfumy I must say. Yoghurt sauce, caramel crème… And quite some sulphur I’m afraid (but some like it sulphury). Rather thick and, I must say, hard

rough, thick, vinous… I’d say ‘cloying’ even if that may be too strong a word. Other than that all the very mashy notes are well here behind that heavy mask. Let’s stop it here because sincerely, this is too much for my taste. I feel this ‘treatment’ is excessive and I doubt that even a young Ardbeg would have survived under these conditions. Too bad, we’ve had many great sherried Juras before, and I’m sure we’ll have many other ones in the future. But this one doesn’t really click for me (especially at £95). 69 points. Isle of Jura 1975 (60.9%, OB, Matthew Forrest Collection, cask #2620, 192 bottles, circa 2002) Matthew Forrest was specialised in sourcing ‘official’ casks for the Japanese market. I think it’s him who revealed the famous very young peated Juras to the world
