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 was a present and I now need to reevaluate the friendship. Superstition is too weak a name... This Whisky is all facts, and none of them good. Avoid at all costs. Will keep in my boot in case I run out of petrol.
5 stars
I love this stuff, it's like you're smoking a pipe!
Not a HUGE fan of overly smokey/peaty malts (so sue me), I found the full hit of the Superstition followed by the long, mellow rolloff that almost tasted of salt air to be a perfect sipping whisky. I've had better, but not by a lot, and CERTAINLY not for anywhere near the price. It's what fills my flask everywhere I take it and I've not had a friend disappointed yet!
