Isle of Jura

Superstition, Aged 10 Years

ABV 45%

It is good to have a more muscular Jura, but I find this a bit too smooth. I would prefer something less sophisticated and more sexy. Must be the size of those paps.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Very light peat smoke, but also some sherryish sweetness.

Palate: Smooth. Waxy. Piney, honeyish. Developing sweet creaminess. Opens very slowly.

Finish: Salty, with a surprising sting.

Comment: It is good to have a more muscular Jura, but I find this a bit too smooth. I would prefer something less sophisticated and more sexy. Must be the size of those paps.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Heathery with hints of hard Highland toffee, wet bracken, smoke, date, chocolate-covered raisins. Water brings polished oak, nuts and heather blossom.

Palate: Soft, with an immediate puff of heathery smoke playing alongside toffee, crisp malt. Good balance and weight.

Finish: Lightly smoky.

Comment: The smoke gives extra character to the often slightly rigid Jura style. Great price too!

Score: 7.8
