Of the three Jura's i've tried this is by far and away the best and the only one i would recommend to buy a bottle of. It's very nice.
Nose: a little closed you really have to go digging for this nose and honey, rich fruit almost fruit cake, bread dough (seemingly the Jura signature) and some toffee. With water bigger, slightly buttery even, other than that, all the aromas are still there, bread dough is more pronounced and has gone a little tequila-ery, touch of floral too.
Pallet: beautiful smooth luscious body, immediately as you swallow there is some smoke or toasty-ness, milk chocolate, honey, toffee, dried fruits are still kind of there in the background I would say raisin and even a touch of sherry. With water milk chocolate first, then spicy fruit toast, with honey and toffee intermingling
Finish: gentle restrained and short, toffee lasts from the pallet and some nutty tang. With water honey, really prominent mocha then it’s gone.
Mark neat – 8.3, with water – 8.4.
Good stuff indeed nice light spirit, good balance between youth and age, lovely
