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.

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.
