Looking forward to visiting @jurawhisky in February!

Fuller and more rounded than the 12. Christmas cake, dark chocolate, caramelised orange and stewed fruit play with usual honey and vanilla.
Lingering, with cinnamon and that gentle sea breeze typical of Jura.
#JuraWhisky
It’s time to dive in and taste! What palatable pleasures does Jura Aged 15 Years Sherry Cask Finish deliver? #JuraWhisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky
That's an amped up version of the 12 - and not in a bad way... more depth, and layers almost more spaced.
#JuraWhisky
It’s time to move onto our fourth and final dram of the night and another drop of newness; Jura Aged 15 Years Sherry Cask Finish. What does this dish up and deliver on the nose? #JuraWhisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky
Really lovely, caramel and a dark honey maybe? Nutmeg and that typical dark chocolate note of usually older Juras coming through.
Still a gentle oak lingering finish...

Now that's bringing out something different - can't say I've tried a sherried Jura... cinnamon sticks out with raisons / dried fruit too.
#JuraWhisky
Moving onto our third dram of the night, and something sipsationally NEW; Jura Aged 12 Years Sherry Cask Finish. What does this dish up and deliver on the nose? #JuraWhisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky
Deeper in flavour too. Raisins, dark chocolate, marmalade,.
Loving the length of the finish... reminds me a little of the 18 year old, my favourite @jurawhisky I've had, and has a gentle and lingering finish like that one too.
#JuraWhisky
It’s time to tantalise those taste buds. What does Jura Aged 16 Years deliver on the palate? #JuraWhisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky
That's far far richer on the nose. Dark chocolate, toasted something, and a bit of wood polish?
#JuraWhisky
A sipsational start to the evening I’m sure you’ll agree. Let’s move onto our second sip of the night; Jura Aged 16 Years. What can you uncover and discover on the nose? #JuraWhisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky
This is delightfully fresh, sweet - a go to when I need something easy drinking. Lightly spiced, apple alongside the toffee and vanilla.
A lingering oak spice on the finish, but it's pleasant.
#JuraWhisky
It’s tasting time! What palatable pleasures does the Jura Aged 12 Years deliver? #JuraWhisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky
Easy easy - honey, malt, vanilla. Lightly smoked... nothing that would put me off!

Something different to usual Tuesday fare. I have always enjoyed any tasters I’ve had from Talisker so perhaps I need to find some others to get hold of.
Recommendations welcome!
Closest I’ve made it. A very cold October morning in 2019. Far too early to nip inside to have a nose around.
