Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 강한 도수를 예고하듯 기름진 결이 천천히 흘러내린다. 코를 가져가면 쥬라답지 않은 짙은 피트 연기와 그을린 보리, 옅은 시트러스가 솟아오른다. 한 모금 조심히 머금으면 1989년 25년 버번 배럴이 다듬은 훈연이 60.9도의 폭발적인 힘으로 혀를 덮는다. 물을 더해 삼키면 달큰한 과실과 재의 여운이 누그러지며 입천장에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes

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
