Nose: Chinese medicinal wine, oxidized fruit puree, broken fish, sweat-stained boots, cheap chocolate sauce. More and more dense dark fruits appeared, bananas ready to rot, apple peels, and many more. There is no denying that this is quite abundant.

Drink: There is no taste in the middle of the mouth, but there are a lot of honey, date syrup, herbs and spices around.

Nothing really exciting. Rather, what next. Overall not very intense. For only 44% of the alcohol stings something. You can find red fruit, caramel, aromatic oak, which reminds of smoke and grassy / floral notes in addition to the somewhat idiosyncratic Jura note.

Fruity and with a lot of sweetness

Jura 18yo 44%. Dark pour. Aroma is led by burnt fruit skins, apple and sherry. Paradoxical note of burnt fruit yoghurt. Eggnog. Whisky-infused eggy custard. Suggestions of sulphur from the start but I'm not totally sure. Once you start drinking the aroma dies away and any flaws are forgotten. Taste is really restrained and easy. Super soft in the mouth. Some lingering suggestions of smoke. Drinks so light like water or milk. Soft vanilla oak, some suggestions of pepper. The drinkability of this is outstanding. It is really too drinkable. The oaky flavours are nice and there's a touch of sherry. It's not that complex but it's pleasant and the softness and drinkability are pretty much as good as I've had. The impressions of 'sweetness' here are classic - not like modern attempts of finishing everything in the sweetest dessert wine cask possible. It's difficult to pick out flavours here as it keeps mutating. It's just so light silky and drinkable. The casks work together nicely - not too much bitter refill oak. Lots of vanilla American oak but counter-balanced with subtle fruity notes. I think this is very impressive. Not very impactful flavour-wise, but silky instead. I think Jura have really improved their offerings recently. 3.75/89

Very good, smells nice.
