Jura The Famous George Orwell 1984 Vintage 30 Year Old, Ex-Bourbon & Sherry Cask, 2014, 44%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

The nose brings honey and vanilla alongside ginger, peach syrup and banana cake; then the palate shifts to ripe pineapple, bitter chocolate and rich morello cherries. That change gives the notes a nice bit of movement without making them feel busy. The finish is the main event: it’s described as long, rich and heavily sherry influenced, so there’s a clear sherry-led close to the story. A considered, characterful set of notes.
