Jura Tastival 2017
Review by: Raygun Ah, Jura. I haven’t tried much, but based on the 10 and 12 its dubious reputation is pretty well deserved. Supposedly there are good IBs out there. This, however, is another OB, a limited edition from 2017. NAS but cask strength. Shouldn’t be boring, at any rate. Reviewed from a sample. Rested about 20 minutes. Distillery: Jura Bottler: Jura  Region/style: Islands single…

Notes from initial blind tasting, with additions in italics a few days…

For those who are unfamiliar with them, Michel Couvreur buys distillate from Scotland and ages it in their own casks in their caves in Burgundy. This one doesn’t specify single malt, but with a single distillation date it just about has to be. Malt for sure, because it says…

Longrow Triple Review
Review by: TOModera Campbeltown. The region that’s only sometimes included in the regions list. At one time Cambeltown had more whisky makers in it’s city than any other region in Scotland. And then… I assume the 80s happened, because let’s be honest, even if it wasn’t, I feel fine blaming the 80s for something else. Anyway, in the last few years, the region has been slowly coming back into…
