Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

what a peat blast indeed – and a nice one! Sharp and clean as most other young peaty Juras we could taste these recent years (including casks for Japan), with a rather immense minerality and lots of cold ashes (all kinds) and tar. Faint farminess in the background but then lots of camphor, which is unusual at such young age I think. And again these wee notes of ham (a marker?) plus a little cider and apple juice. A different voice within the peaty pack, certainly interesting and maturing quite fast it seems

restaurant Palate

excellent attack on a relatively refined peat, very mineral and ‘direct’ again but not rough despite its age. Is that the tall stills? Quite some lemon now, walnut skin, green apples, lemon skin an pips… I like the purity and the huge tar notes. Lots of liquorice, maybe even salted one. Interesting spiciness, just as unusual (something like strong curry and paprika). And just as ashy as on the nose

timer Finish

it isn’t extraordinarily long but beautifully tarry, ashy, camphory… Is Jura a new Longrow (as the latter was up to 1987?) 88 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: you don't need to have a great singer to produce a hugely simple yet fantastic little song such as After Hours.mp3 . Of course it's the Velvet Underground and the 'singer' is drummer Moe Tucker. (and it's on the 1969 album 'The Velvet Underground'). Please buy all these people's music...
