Whisky Online Auctions Tasting Notes Cask 5488:

Colour: Light gold

Nose: This one is more savoury at first, more bready and yeasty with pleasing and warm notes of toasted seeds, trail mix, nuts, olive oil and soot. Some earthy and ever so slightly waxy qualities emerge as well with a little time. Goes on with some green fruits and darjeeling tea.

Palate: Savoury again on delivery. More nuts, seeds, coal, wet earth, gravel, muesli, cereals and crushed oatcakes. A little saltiness and some delicate wood spices. Goes on with camphor resin, cured meats and touches of black olive paste and umami seasoning.

Finish: Medium-long and full of spices, grass, minerals, some citrus notes and a gently fading coastal character.

Comments: Probably the best of the four Jura casks. And also the one with the most future staying power. Although, my feeling is it would not really take more than a further two years maturation and that it could quite easily be bottled now or in the next few months.

Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. 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.
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 any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity 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.

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 on this page.
