This bottle feels like your favourite old chair, saggy and stained - out of place and an eye sore according to my wife. Yet we are drawn to it. Is it the comfort? The smell? Or the memories it draws that we enjoy. On the nose: it’s a mixed bag, with roasted berries and honey standing out at first. A second pull bring sea salt with chilli, and some vanilla. An lovely oak note lingers. On the palate; light at first - berries make a small appearance, I detect roasted strawberries followed by a soft smoke note. Honey follows with some chilli, then a touch of pine. The finish starts off light, a breathe of fresh pine followed by the spice. Smoke comes after and lasts around for a while. I’ve never thought much of this bottle, but the fact that it is always on sale has be buying it over and over. This bottle is complex, not necessarily balanced, but does have a lot to offer. Jura 10 year is similar, but the 12 brings in more smoke and spice. Not a knockout for flavour, but this does a great job at being good and interesting. I’ll continue to buy it as the value is competitive.
