Overall
Score
8.2
Nose
Straw-like, then immensely smoky; chimney sweep's sack, engine oil. Water calms it down, brings out lentil, sweetness, pine wood and a zestiness.
Palate
A fug of smoke. Thankfully there's a sweetness beneath and a bracken-like note to balance.
Finish
Smoke and more smoke. Tarry.
Comment
Jura's manager Michael Heads worked at Laphroaig. A coincidence? More please!
