Jura 7 Wood is not too different from the normal stuff. Tasted it in a club tasting of the new range and it didn't stand out compared to the others - mostly small differences on the same theme.
Has Burns Dinner tonight with the whisky club, also had a "mystery" tombola - one voucher for £3 and you 2 2cl of 2 different things. It's a way of finishing up whiskies than are nearly empty. Seemed to be a Campebeltown evening for me with quite a few single casks from different distilleries there. Sadly didn't get the Ardbeg New Make I'd been wanting to try!

I can understand what you say if you're comparing it up against the new range such as 'Journey' which I bought last year and didn't think much of.The range before that - Superstition, Prophecy, Durachs own, Elixir and Origin are way better, but that's my opinion of course.
Interesting, it's been a while since I tasted the old ones so can't remember enough to comment. But several people mentioned they thought the new ones were better compared to the old.
2 Marsala finish, single cask, cask strength comparisons for me tonight. Tobermory 14yo (2 year finish) and a Glenallachie (3 month finish?) approximately 9yo.

a full wine glass of whisky!!
Mmmmmm not quite
Still, it is nice to see whiskey glasses that aren't tumblers - why this fashion has continued I do not know. Something to do with the fact people like ice in their whisky I assume.

they are nice unusual glasses. They do look massive though... probs just a trick of the perspective / thickness of glass maybe. Not sure.
Anyway that aside, brimming a normal tumbler would be an equally intimidating volume of whisky, to me at least.
Looking back at my post, I can understand why you'd think the glasses were on the large side, but they're not. Anyway that aside, brimming a normal tumbler would be an equally intimidating volume of whisky, to me at least.
Here's the glass with a double measure on the right
and the glass just about takes the measure. Glasses were bought from 'Royal Scot Crystal' and stand at 140mm high and ø70mm at widest point.
Would make a nice port glass as well.

Ummm tempting.Anyone tried the Cotswold whisky, getting great reviews, but £45 for a NAS Unknown English dram might be a step too far? https://www.waitrosecellar.com/whisky/cotswolds-wh...
