Jura Tide 21 yo (46,7%, OB +/- 2020)
Nostril: the primary impression is leathery and spicy, with loads of candy woody touches. Beneath is a candy fruitiness of peaches, berries and inexperienced bananas. Then hints of orange peel. A whiff of varnish and vanilla, in addition to some recent pencil shavings. Fairly candy and rounded, with only a few of the funky notes that you simply usually get in Jura whisky.
Mouth: massive bourbonny notes all over. Vanilla, caramel, leather-based and cinnamon. There’s additionally an fragrant, nearly floral edge from the virgin wooden. Some candied ginger, walnut dryness and slightly oak char. Lastly a lightweight meaty trace as properly. The oak is slightly too outstanding for me.
End: pretty lengthy, with extra recent oakiness, caramel and light-weight smoke.
Fairly a strong and generously oaked Jura. The steadiness isn’t excellent but it surely’s actually a good possibility within the core vary. Out there from The Whisky Alternate or barely cheaper from Grasp of Malt as an example.
