Tasting Notes

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!
