Official tasting notes.
Nose: a gorgeous old-style profile full of beeswax and pollen. Hints of lanolin and wet wool. Whiffs of women’s powder as well. Some leather, dried mint leaves and heather. Some citrus green tea and lemon peel emerge. Subtle earthy notes and vague orchard fruits in the background. Very complex.
Palate: a similar old and oily style that reminds us more of the 1960-70s than the 1990s. Lots of waxy notes again (old ointments), with oak polish, orange oils and lemon peels. Crystallized fruits and a subtle, greasy sweetness. Bay leaf, hints of eucalyptus and soft resin. Hints of walnuts and subtle wood spice.
Finish: long, a little earthy and leathery, with marmalade and hints of herbal tea.

Description
Here’s another huge age statement offering from the Whisky Jury coming in at 30 years of maturation in a in a refill sherry hogshead before bottling at cask strength with no added colour or chill filtration. A great old-school whisky! Not as sherried as the colour suggests, but complexity is high, elegance as well – such a delicious pour.
The Whisky Jury is an independent bottler from Belgium founded by three whisky mates with a shared passion for single cask, cask strength, single malt whisky. Their bottlings have a rusted-on cult following with only a very small allocation made available for the Australian Market.
