Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: Some sort of subtly fragrant Alpine cheese - Compte perhaps, oatmeal with honey, sesame oil, pineapple Jolly Rancher candies, sliced cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto, sponge toffee, and a touch of medicinal and coastal notes.
Palate: Lactic and creamy with salinity as well. Cheese again but let's say Asiago this time honeydew melon, Sesame Snaps candy brittle, cashews, chamomile tea with honey, a dash of apple cider and sugary lemonade.
Finish: Cashews and soft nuttiness plus fruits with more saltiness on the fade.
Comment: I must say, this one is right out of left field for me. Not in a bad way - I just can't wrap my head around it. Perhaps it is because I have not spent enough time with Jura single malt in general, but I cannot figure this one entirely out. I had a fun time trying, though!
