I have actually, it's basically black like a very dark rum. Or Jaegermeister. Apparently they use very charred casks to get it that colour naturally. Personally I thought it was very dull though. Unsurprisingly I reckon burning the shite out of the cask doesn't lend to passing on any wood character or let the spirit shine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm not much of a Jura fan, but was just in the Shawlands Morrisons (I mean the one beside Pollok FC's ground - there are too many close together round there), and they had 2 bottles of the Jura Prophecy marked down at £20 each. Marked down as in a yellow sticker on the box; not a larger promotion. Must be end of a line. I got one and left the other for someone else, so if anyone's in the area, wire in for a bargain, as it seems to be over £50 most places online. It's on the bottom of a shelf at the end of one of the drinks aisles (the checkout end) with a bunch of other marked down stuff (e.g. the 200ml bottles of regular Jura are all just £5). This is 2 aisles down from the one where all the whisky is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Is cask strength a set percentage? I don't recall seeing 64.4% before. Cask strength just means its bottled at whatever strength it is in the cask rather than being watered down to 40 or 43% or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual strength most whisky is laid down in the cask is around 63.5% for most distillers, which then reduces further through evaporation etc. I've seen some single cask Glenlivet at near 70% abv even with 9 or 10 years in the cask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 My view on Japanese is whisky is a nip or two (stop it) is lovely but too sweet for a quarter pint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 My friend just poured me on of these. Lovely. There was a bottle of that my folks house and it was very pleasant. Splashed out on a bit of a whim on the 15 year old revival today - not sure if it is an investment or for drinking. Glendronach collection growing though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
