I have witness how Jura have fallen. Every year the released expressions are weaker, thiner and the whole reputation of this distillery has crashed. This 12yo is one of those cases where a cheap bottle is falling behind in comparison to any other expression of the same age from any other distillery. Bottled at 40%abv, really beautiful reddish color (i don't know if it is colored, but it seems so). On the nose, a thin cigarrette note. Then red fruits, thick caramel, acid prunes. A nice aroma of home made dulce de leche has appeared after a first sip. On the palate, lt is not the best whisky out there. Sulphur and salt; dim chocolare for a second. A little rough, it actually feels like grain whisky. caramel. Aftertaste is almost non-existent. Sawdust and a little salt for a second. That is it. Very short aftertaste. Overall, this wasn't the best whisky i have had, lol. I don't even feel dissapointed at this point, my feelings about Jura are starting to be more like sadness. They have to improve their game, specially considering that they belong to Whyte & Mackay, who are also owners of the marvelous Dalmore. My score for this whisky is a scary 69 over 100.
