First Fill Bourbon – 60.3 %

My Tasting Notes

Nose: Slightly smoky, slightly spicy, vanilla, lemon
Palate: Strong vanilla, ginger, pepper, cloves, lemon
Finish: Long and spicy
Overall: Another quite spicy Adelphi. The peat that is noticeable in the nose is covered by vanilla and spices on the palate. Quite nice, but a little bit rough for my taste.

Score: 84/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$

43%

My Tasting Notes

Nose: Smoky, quite medicinal, some sherry sweetness
Palate: Some peat, toffee and honey, slightly spicy
Finish: Long, smoky and sweet
Overall: Mouthfeel is quite soft at first but gets rougher with growing wood spiciness. I would have preferred a stronger attack, but this still is a very good dram for a very moderate price.

Score: 84/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$

Jura Heavy Peated 1999/2006

by Oliver Klimek on September 9, 2009

An unusual vintage bottling – 58%

My Tasting Notes

Nose: Very smoky, camp fire, smoked bacon, a slight fruitiness is noticable
Palate: Strong peat, some pepper, a bit sweet, with water citrus notes emerge.
Finish: Long and smoky.
Overall: A great young peat monster that doesn’t have to hide behind its cousins from Islay.

Score: 91/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$
