Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber with coppery highlights and a honeyed, sun-kissed glow.
Nose
Opulent Moscatel-driven fruit on the nose: ripe peach and apricot, honeyed raisin, citrus zest and orange blossom. A veil of sea air and coastal salt underpins the sweetness, with vanilla and gentle spice hinting at Jura’s maritime character beneath the high-strength lift.
Palate
Opulent and warming, the palate unfolds with honeyed Moscatel sweetness—peach, apricot and citrus—lifted by Jura’s subtle maritime edge. Creamy, velvety texture gives way to integrated spice: ginger, white pepper and a whisper of nutmeg. The 58.5% ABV grants a long, warming finish with persistent fruit depth and a delicate saline kiss from the island breeze.
Finish
Long, honeyed Moscatel fruit lingers, with orange zest and apricot sweetness slowly fading. Gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—unfolds beneath, while a whisper of coastal brine and toasted oak rounds out a warm, enduring finish.
