Continuing our hugely successful string of Tweet Tastings, last night we held our latest event exploring a joyous and jubilant jamboree of Jura’s.
In the good
company of our assembled group of Tweet Tasters, we sampled the entire core
range from the Jura Distillery, which consisted of their 10yr, Superstition,
16yr, Prophecy & their 21yr old 200 Anniversary Edition bottling.
Here’s a few
of the tweeted tasted highlights from last night:
Jura 10 Year Old
@HTFWhisky Apple
Crumble doused in Nutmeg on the nose, lots of wild honey on the palate, very
fine hint of peat to finish.
@TheWhiskyBoys
Buttery sweet honey & white pepper, citrus breakfast juice, dryness of
grapefruit & a heather field.
@ifotou Seaside saltiness with dark cocoa, citrus notes, pine
cones and crushed sunflower seeds.
@WhiskyDiscovery
Lightly peated, fresh, orange blossom, floral, butterscotch & white pepper,
lots of white pepper.
@PresleyKa I'm
getting caramel as well and wood charcoal. Reminding me of salted honey roasted
nuts.
@TIA568B Sweet
honey leading to quite a bit of white pepper spiciness and oatcakes leading on
to some dry coal smoke.
@fr1day Peaches
and oranges dusted with cinnamon & paper glue.
@HTFWhisky A
very, very moreish mouth feel, deliciously smooth, oak, thick honey and lots of
dried red fruits.
@TheWhiskyBoys
Treacle scones, cooked rhubarb, coffee essence, hazelnuts, banana on burnt
toast.
@WHISKYILEACH
Sweet peat, burnt oak staves on a bonfire with marshmallows, candy floss, pine,
creamy toffee.
@whiskyrepublic
Smooth, sweet, spicy heat, rubber. Anyone remember gas at the dentists in the
1960's? The rubber block you had to bite on.
@NickDaBird The peat smoke is the big hitter, with orchard fruits & cherries.
@AlasterPhillips
Ripe bananas, cold earl grey tea, a large bowl of milky coffee and the marzipan
off the top of an xmas cake.
@rodbodtoo
Complex & layered. Oak spice, grass, spearmint, (lactic) malty. Demerara rum
& sugar.
@sgilboa Creamy,
gentle, almost Armagnac like. Very rich, sultanas, sherry, dark chocolate,
gentle oak.
