We’ve all doubtless experienced that curious feeling that when we were younger the days seemed to be longer. It’s peculiar, but easily explained – in youth we perceive and laydown more memories and mental images – the world at that time is largely unfamiliarly and it requires far more processing than when we are accustomed to it. The older we get, the more habituated we are and therefore the less information we need to store. The less we write into our brains each day, the faster the passage of time seems. And in a strange manner this is how I’ve come to think about the changing perceptions of Jura.
Crikey. Turns out this will be the first Jura review on The Dramble. That’s honestly a little embarrassing after all these years – but then, looking down our corpus of distilleries, there’s still a small number of Scotch producers we’ve not yet turned to. You can’t do everything. Which leads to the obvious question – “Have you been deliberately avoiding Jura Matt?” The answer being – “kinda.”
