On the palate 15yo Jura sherry cask 46% - Spicy, but with endless nuttiness and milk chocolate. Literal liquid snickers. A spicy Snickers bar. Then some limoncello and Arancello Schnnaps. Again, then a sour note to end. #JuraWhisky

On the nose 15yo sherry cask 46% - Fresh whipped cream, cinnamon latte with almond milk, peach syrup, sugar syrup and lemon, more rounded and rich than the rest, and less sour. #JuraWhisky

One the palate for the 12 year old 46% - Spicy, very spicy, then sour. Before sweet toffee kicks in with fruit notes bouncing between peaches, blue plums, and tangerines. A tickle of frothy cappucino. Spice subsides into finish. #JuraWhisky

On the nose for the 12 year old Sherry Cask 46% - Tinned peaches in syrup, hot toddy with honey, lemon and cinnamon. Very pleasant. #JuraWhisky

One the palate 16 year old 43% - spice, oak, peach, lemon tart, kidney beans, pickle juice. I tried this at the Pot Still, and I'm on the same side of the fence this time. #JuraWhisky

On the palate for the Jura 12yo 40% - Peach, spice, lemon, sourness and wood, a little white pepper. Reminds me of a peach based cocktail on a 18 to 30s holiday in Kavos: sweet and sour, a bit of a blur. #JuraWhisky

18 year old Macallan without the packaging from SV. Sub £100. But of a kick int he nuts to the distilleries own pricing, bottled at 57.1%. Of course we ponder why 18 year old whisky should cost so much more than 17, 16 or 15 year old whisky whilst we sip. www.thewhiskybarrel.com/products/mys...

OK so with help and too much brain thinking, the 16yo (£99) and 30yo (£500) The Islay are both Lagavulin. The 20yo is a Bowmore (£150). My favourite blind was the Bowmore by some distance. All very tasty though. www.masterofmalt.com/distilleries...

Highland Park 18 back to £82.50 in a few retailers who will not let stock get over a certain level due to storage costs. Yes, it 43% and should not have ended up priced at over £120, but another sign that stock is not shifting. I have a soft spot for it. www.ocado.com/products/hig...

A previous Summerton Club bottle (or very similar) is on Ocado reduced £38.30 - The Australian Morris Muscat Cask Finish 46%. Fairly cheap considering it's flown 10,000 miles. It's worth browsing Ocado whisky sale too. #whisky www.ocado.com/products/mor...

State of the whisky market that this is not sold out. If this was in a Tamdhu OB bottle it would be £150 (and I'm not saying that it is worth that). The distillery would say they keep the best for themselves, but how many of us are fond of our fave distilleries in IB format...

Stuff going on in dram 5, a really well balanced dram: apple pie, burnt lemons, toasted marshmallows, medicinal peat, grilled, liquorice on the finish. #blinddrams - a 5 from me - let's go big. It's been ages since I scored a 5. Maybe 46% to 48% abv.

Dram 3 score from me is a 2. Tobacco, metallic, herbal, bitter more than sweet with nutmeg, and spice - in wet cardboard. It is one where it's interesting, but I'd not want a bottle. I'd go with a 2 #blinddrams
