Whisky Online Auctions Tasting Notes Cask 5487: 

Colour: Straw

Nose: Remarkably polished and redolent with cereal, light tropical and green fruit and a soft peppery note. The oxidative effects at such a natural low cask strength are obvious here but very pleasant and beneficial on the nose. Develops further with notes of coal dust, camphor, pollen and a little wet gravel.

Palate: Soft, understandably. Quite extractive as well with notes of green tea, lemon blossom, spice tannins, cinnamon bark and black peppercorns. Some gingery notes and a little tarry aspect. Globally very soft but with good flavours.

Finish: Good length considering the strength. Meadowsweet, fruit gums, tea tree oil and lanolin. 

Comments: On its own this is too weak to legally be called whisky, but as a component to vat with a younger or higher abv whisky it could work extremely well. Especially with one of the other, higher abv, sister casks of Jura.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly.
