Nose - sour apple, peach, lemon zest, honey, dry grass, floral notes, malty grain, sweet vanilla, subtle cinnamon, moderate ethanol burn.
Taste - honey, chocolate, sour apple, tannic dry grass, cereal grain, lemon zest, peach, hint of caramel, floral notes, moderate to high alcohol bite, finishing fast with mostly sour fruit, bitter grassy, floral, and hot young alcohol flavors.
While I find this to be reasonably serviceable, I’m not very impressed. Some aspects of the nose and palate are nice, but the fruit is too sour, the grass is too bitter, and it generally does not integrate the components very well. It would probably be improved with more time in the barrel.

@ContemplativeFox Thanks! I’ve heard as much about Jura releases in general. I’ve got two more to try from a sampler pack I picked up, so maybe there will be a gem in there somewhere.
Nice job picking out all of the subtle flavors :) Unfortunately, I've yet to hear much good about Jura :(
