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 not a bad malt, especially at the price, but I agree with those who complain about the nose. It smells of cheap tequila (how? why?), a smell anyone who appreciates good drink will despise.
I really like the taste of it. Not too peaty, and kind of smooth, easy to drink. But it does not smell very good in my opinion. I can't find a word of what it smells, only that I don't like it. Apart from the nose I like it.
Good "Jura" nose, with salty beach air, sea weed...sweet caramel, with a good puff of peat smoke and sun on the heather. Smooth. Spices and orange, a little fire. Oily with grains and creamy notes too...delicious!
Always been tempted by this and when I saw it on offer was hard to resist. First taste was quite harsh, almost that of a blend, but with a small block of ice left to dissolve the harshness was replaced with an array of subtle flavours. A light smokiness with a hint of peat and a touch of honey bringing back memories of a bottle of Bowmore "enigma" bought at heathrows duty free, a very similar bottle. For the price a different and tasty bottle but maybe worth spending a few more of your hard earned notes on something else.
Ah the superstition, Jura's little jewel. A very fair priced malt from the little distillery. Hints of marzipan, a little nutmeg and a lovely hint of smoke and of course the seabreeze. Always a good choice
