Color

Amber

Nose

Malt and vanilla. A little butterscotch. Caramel and chocolate. Plumbs. Sweet and fresh and even a bit salty in the background.

Taste

Malt and vanilla. Also caramel. Delicious sweetness. In the end a bit oily.

Finish

Very warming and a bit oily. Sweet and medium.

Comments

This Jura edition has a best part: the taste. Nothing wrong with that.

Rough around the edges with little complexity on the nose or palate. Strange metallic notes on the finish.

Color

Old gold

Nose

Oily, slightly smokey, salty sea breeze, a bit rubbery. Then also some sweetness with caramel, light fruit, cinnamon.

Taste

Very light. The smoke is there but light again. Oily, a bit buttery. A coffee note now, together with that salty sea breeze tang. Some spices and light fruits. Pineapple.

Finish

Not long. Still that slightly bitter coffee/spicy note, oily sweetness with malt, caramel and some fruit at the end.

Comments

I feel there's more to this than it shows. Maybe at 46% this would be easier to appreciate. Now everything is too timid.

Color

Yellow gold

Nose

Nose is rather soft and smooth. You will find notes of sea, salty flavors, alga and seaweeds. Additionally, some notes of flowers, heath and fresh peat. Fruit compote is pretty obvious as well.

Taste

It starts with salt, sea flavors, light bitterness, then is turns to sweetness and coffee. It is rather soft, light, but sea flavors are very obvious.

Finish

Rather short, dry, a little fruity and smoky. Unfortunately, IMHO too much water made it weak and flat.

Color

Yellow gold

Nose

Metallic, malty, oranges, lemons and limes in porridge. Very light.

Taste

Light, draff and faint citrus.

Finish

Metallic again. A bit harsh and short.

Comments

Not the best that this distillery can do.

It's better to have drunk it all than never to have drunk at all.

Light and crispy with a hint of sea salt. Sweet vanilla, nuts and spicy notes. The medium finish brings spicy and even peaty notes in your mouth. Not the best from the papes,but well ok.

Way too much pine to be enjoyable. Go for the 16. It is superb, and well balanced!
