LBD Spirits Jura 2008

Notes from the Bottlers:
Starting life in a French oak oloroso hogshead, we transferred it to PX sherry for 9 months as the oloroso cask was good, but wasn’t giving us the sherry profile we wanted. Now, you’ve heard us talk many times about balance and trying to balance spirit character with wood, well this release isn’t that. It’s a full on sherry monster, we cannot deny that. It is however exactly the profile you want when you want that big sweet sherry beastie. There’s no tannic harshness, the sherry is clean and the slightly herbal Jura character does survive well. It emerges through all the sherry. We love it, it’s a load of fun, it’s just quite a different style for us. Chris and I burst out laughing when we started bottling, this stuff is black!
