A single malt made up of different ages, 13 percent of which is said to be heavily peated... It turns out Stevie was wrong, Superstition is the way!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Initial gristy cereal gives way to evocative smoke and heady malt. It’s quite sweet and creamy, and reminds us of Chantilly cream.
Sweet and porridge-like. A cereal fest on the tongue, with hints of white pepper and black forest honey with hot buttered toast. Light and oily.
Medium length with cocoa and rice paper with hints of honey and spice on the tail.
This is a delight. It has an element of surprise. Far more interesting than many Duras yet more similar to it's Islay cousins. As a fan of Ardbeg and Lagavulin I thought this had an elemental appeal not to be takane lightly. Worth a try and very reasonably priced too. Slainte! Cochran
The Best I Have EVER Tasted.
I tasted Jura Superstition against Cooper's 1977, Bushmills Black Label, Bushmills Gold Label 1608 and Jameson's Redbreast 12 year old, using a small amount of water in each of them. The Jura was, to my taste, the best of them . I particularly liked the touch of peat, there but not overwhelming, together with a sweetness and the unfolding flavours revealed by the water. If I could only have one whisky again it would be this one.
Personally I have found this whisky to be a nice introduction to the world of pleated malts, neat you get the full pleated effect, add a couple of drops of water or a cube of ice to realese the underlying flavours and slowly "wean" yourself to neat either way a true delight as per all Jura's
Sweet and smoky. A more interesting dram you'll do well to find at the price. Well done, Jura distillery.
