Jura Red Wine Cask Finish

Smell: Sweet, slightly chemical. Forest fruit, berries, vanilla, caramel. Quite light on the nose. Taste: Spirit forward, barrel char, summer fruit, vanilla, citrus/lime, light tannic spiciness Finish: Medium long finish. Spicy - black pepper, ginger and chilli, toasted oak, maltiness, more of the summer fruit. Tannic on the aftertaste. Fruity and malty, there’s a nice spiciness throughout. Loads of summer fruit and berries with a dry, tannic note.

The color is beautiful. Rich, deep mahogany. Aroma is dry red wine with some honey undertones. The palate is rich and fruity with the wine more pronounced in the finish. For me, the color and the aroma are the most enjoyable part of the whisky, the palate not quite there for me.

Numerous red wine notes mixed with whisky and a nice dark amber color. Not particularly impressive after that, to be honest, but with a dry finish. Lots of aroma, but sadly not much substance afterwards.

The aroma is quite typical, featuring distinct red apple and caramel notes. The taste is very gentle, with flavors of vanilla, toffee, apricot, and apple. It's not highly intricate, but it is rather pleasant and very easy to drink.

Brown sugar on the nose, with a light mouthfeel that carries sweetness and smokiness. A noticeable sensation of burning alcohol. The finish is relatively brief, but it's not an unpleasant drink.

This whisky possesses an authentic old-fashioned flavor, reminiscent of secretly sampling my father's drink as a child. It's easy to drink, fairly smooth, and overall a wonderful whisky.
