Jura Superstition

This Jura is half and half non-smoky and smoky Jura Malt. But it still is a Single Malt, since the whole Whisky is produced by Jura. With closed eyes, you will guess it's an Islay Malt.

Comment:
This Jura is mixing half and half not smoky and smoky Jura Malt. It remains a Single Malt Whisky because the whole Whiskies comes from the Jura Distillery.
Nosing:
Sweet notes of honey and marzipan with a hint of peat smoke.
Taste:
Spicy with cinnamon and ginger, and honey notes associated with distinct peat smoke flavor, sea air and coffee.
Finish:
Pleasantly sweet with a spicy note.

If you are afraid of these 'peat monsters' from Islay, this robust Single Malt whisky could be the answer. Isle of Jura Superstition is advertised as 'lightly peated' malt. Unfortunately, it has no age statement, but the 43% ABV definitely help to bring out the flavor of this rather young whisky. On the nose, you find light peat smoke, toffee, honey and hints of marzipan. The taste is mildly spicy and peppery, and yet sweet with honey and cinnamon. Overall, it's a slightly two-dimensional and artificial Single Malt - but with a decent roundness and complexity.
