Jura 29 yo 1992/2021 (47.2%, Whisky Age for Whisky Picnic Bar Taiwan, bourbon barrel, cask #836, 140 bottles) 
In concept, nothing ought to go improper right here. What’s extra, we do additionally do not forget that beautiful latest Talisker 10 for the Whisky Picnic Bar Taiwan. Color: white wine. Nostril: typical seawater with slightly candy mustard, walnuts, paraffin, gorse, sandalwood, cigarette tobacco, then scoria, soot, castor oil (very previous automobile), and any previous stuff you’ll discover in an previous basement, simply, maybe, not useless mice. Mouth: appropriately salty and bitter at first, that’s to say fairly on brine and a few type of resinous mustard, additionally miso soup, then bitter almonds and bitterish greens. Eggplant, artichoke, dandelion greens, grapefruit peel… End: lengthy, salty and bitter certainly, a tad unsexy however that is one thing you’ll count on from some typical Jura. Sooty and ashy aftertaste. Feedback: jogs my memory of some older OBs, however that is wider. A really good instance of the ‘harsher’ Jura type, maybe not for everybody, however absolutely for us.

Jura 30 yo 1991/2021 (54%, Artist by La Maison du Whisky, bourbon barrel, cask #946, 100 bottles) 
Color: gentle gold. Nostril: mustard and soot as soon as extra, dry Madeira, fino, inexperienced walnuts, previous instruments, engine oil, horseradish, carbon paper, brake mud, then camphor and extra inexperienced walnuts and mustard which, fairly serendipitously, would remind us of some Vin Jaune from… Jura. Relatively round Arbois than Château-Châlon. With water: whiffs of contemporary French varnish (however naturellement), grass, heather, sourdough, manzanilla… What’s to not like right here? Mouth (neat): sweeter than the 1992 – possibly the barrel – and fairly extra on Seville oranges and simply marmalade at first, then we discover the anticipated walnuts, touches of curry (very vin jaune certainly), salty bouillons, elderberry eau-de-vie, plus these sooty ashes. With water: geared in direction of vegetable soups, bouillons, rooster broth, curry, cardamom, juniper… End: medium, sooty. Extra barely sweeter miso. And walnuts once more within the aftertaste. Feedback: excellent, whisky jaune from the isle of Jura, let’s say; we have come full circle.

Jura 30 yo 1991/2021 (46.5%, Thompson Brothers, refill hogshead, 216 bottles)
Angus has already tried this a centesimal bottling by the hyperactive Thompson Bros. Color: white wine. Nostril: fairly nearer to the 1992, with slightly extra vegetal oils (hazelnut, sunflower) after which paraffin and plasticine, whereas some softer seafood would dance within the background (say langoustines) earlier than some straight soot would then take over. Just a little lettuce and rucola, incense, then some sweeter liqueur, maybe hibiscus? They make that in French Guyana. Just a little melon too. Mouth: a wee tad harder, with a number of lemon peel, certainly rucola, then putty and plasticine, inexperienced walnuts, chlorophyll, mustard, then drops of Get 27 (peppermint) and simply grass juice. End: lengthy, on marmalade and fairly inexperienced pepper this time. Very peppery aftertaste. Feedback: the nostril is excellent, the palate is just not precisely a mattress of roses, however this old-schoolness stays completely fantastic. Virtually distilled fino.
