Cask 6454. Floral and sweet, lots of cereal notes as well. Certain estery flavours on the nose don’t quite make it to the tongue, unfortunately. Beautiful finish though, a highly enjoyable dram. Thank you Andrea!

Another herbal Jura, this time with mint and dill. It’s quite tart and citrusy too, and opens up beautifully into a wave of meatiness with a few drops of water. Again, very pleasant indeed.

I like this a lot.
