Whisky Online Auctions Tasting Notes Cask 5490:

Colour: White wine.

Nose: The same kind of slightly brittle, mineral and white stone fruit structure. Delicately saline, buttery and full of cereal qualities and herbal aspects. Some sea greens, toasted sesame seeds, heather beer and a touch of cornflour. Some lime juice and wet pebbles.

Palate: Quite oily this one. Peppery and with a slightly more textured fruitiness. Goes towards coal hearths, old boiler sheds and graphite. Quite drying with notes of freshly baked seed bread, sunflower oil, grass and wet rocks. Still a fragile coastal seam throughout.

Finish: Good length. A little lactic, some notes of yoghurt, edible flowers, grist, a faded wood smoke and some camphor.

Comments: Another solid mid-aged Jura. Again ideal for bottling now or in the next 12 months.

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.
