Chorlton Jura 15yo
One the nose it gives an impression of being waxy and oily, with custard creams, banana, salty sea air, limestone, and a bit of smoky grist. I also get some weissbier, serrano ham, white flowers, mango chutney and orange boiled sweets.
The palate starts sweet and citrussy, with an oily texture. I get spiced orange, herbs, rye and a touch of eucalyptus. The development is long, slightly smoky, lemony and really quite salty. The aftertaste is lovely, with sweet citrus and touches of Ricola sweets.
There's lots of character here, and a proper maritime feeling, but packed into a dram that feels fun and easy-going. The strength is perfect for this too. If you generally like Jura then you can't go wrong, and if not then it may convince you! I really like it.
