A single malt made up of different ages, 13 percent of which is said to be heavily peated... It turns out Stevie was wrong, Superstition is the way!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Initial gristy cereal gives way to evocative smoke and heady malt. It’s quite sweet and creamy, and reminds us of Chantilly cream.
Sweet and porridge-like. A cereal fest on the tongue, with hints of white pepper and black forest honey with hot buttered toast. Light and oily.
Medium length with cocoa and rice paper with hints of honey and spice on the tail.
Normally I drink Lagavulin, Bowmore or My real favorite Laphroaig. I was tempted by the nice box and maybe the price. I live in Quebec me the duties and taxes are quite high. Anyhow, it looks beautiful in the bottle. Does not smell peaty at all, I got no hint of the flavours described on the box, there's no vintage stated on the bottle or the box. As the title of the post says, my immediate impression was that of Bells in a pub. Rough. Not much flavour. So being at first disappointed, I left the glass on the counter while helping my lovely wife make an Indian curry. Maybe the aeration opportunity I granted it made a difference, a hint of peat, some spice and the roughness had all but gone. Maybe it's not so bad after all. Saying that, I won't be buying more of it and I'll save it for parties when friends will perhaps appreciate it.
A very sweet and crisp flavour. This doesn't come across as smoky as other Juras, but is one those malts that makes me just want more.
I'm usually an Ardbeg drinker and was surprised at how tasty it was. Very smooth but not boring, full of flavour but not overpowering. You have to be careful because it's easy to finish a whole bottle of this.
Brilliant strong taste
Just so so.
