Let’s try to be logical, since the Austrians did some great things with Sauternes, and since the problem with the Jura was probably the bone-dry vin jaune cask, why not try another Jura that matured in a sweet wine cask? Prohibition (41%, OB, France, single malt, vin de paille ...
Ben Nevis 23 yo 1996/2020 (46.1%, Whisky Nerds, cask #954, hogshead, 75 bottles) Colour: pale white wine. Nose: very typical and I’m also extremely glad I did this directly after the 1970 as you really see the descended DNA. This big, fatty, grassy, olive oil profile that allude...
Milk & Honey ‘Triple Cask’ (46%, OB, Israel, 2449 bottles, 2018) Matured in red wine, bourbon and Islay wood, what could go wrong? Ha. By the way when was this distilled? Now as for the biblical references, after all, other places, other ways. Colour: gold. Nose: soft vanilla...

(59.4%, OB, Israel, Liron Aizik Shai Gilboa, Craignan Red Wine Cask, cask #2018-0713, 267 bottles) Pst, ladies and gentlemen, in good spirits and you know how much we love you, between us, is 'Craignan' some kind of Israeli wine, or isn't it actually 'carignan' the red grape ...
Colour: white wine. Nose: it is a tad rougher, and the cask may have been a little more active this time (coffee, butterscotch), but this profile is just great. Iodine, Mercurochrome, mud, tar, kelp, engine oil, old whelks. No, really old whelks (any resemblance to real people is ...
