Spoiler alert: This is nothing like the Jura 16. More spoiler alert: Distiller's 88 is a disgrace. Sultana raisins, prunes and vanilla hits your nose with everything you can expect and desire from a sherry influenced whisky. The palate has an added element of sweet almond paste that really bring all the aromas together (as a side note, if you're not from the UK, using words like marzipan rather than almond paste or cream is just laughable). The finish is incredibly complex with a difficult to pinpoint aroma that truthfully reminds me of marijuana (you know what I'm talking about). This is truly pleasing.

I only say "marzipan" because I hear too many "cheffy" types use it. =)
