First of all I would like to refer you to my Whiskypod video reviewing this fine dram at Whisky Live earlier this year! It can be found here www.connosr.com/whiskypod/video/wll031/
I’ve only tried one Jura whisky before, and needed to expand my knowledge/range without a doubt! So I went for the lightly peated Jura Superstition, which to be honest caught my eye purely because of the name, and at the time of tasting Richard Paterson had just been entertaining the crowd with tales of Jura!
On the nose you get the peat coming through, but it’s also quite sweet and soft. When sampling it you pick up some honey, nuts, and fruit as well as it smoothly glides down! Extremely easy to drink, one that I could get through quite quickly (although I am at present doing my best to savour the bottle!). I found it had a short finish, but I am always quick to say that a quick finish to a dram is not always a bad thing!
I would agree with some opinions that it is certainly one of a kind, Jura have put out an affordable, all round blinder here which is a great malt to come back to time and time again

I've had my eye on this whisky, a local store has it reduced. After reading your review i think i'll give it a blast.
