Isle of Jura Spirits Superstition Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

The island distillery is replacing its existing range of Scotch whiskies with a completely new line-up that introduces a new flavour direction for the brand. The expressions will be replaced with five new bottlings – including a ‘refined and stylish’ bottle design – created around a new signature style, combining subtle smoke with sweetness from American white oak barrels and ‘enhanced’with a Sherry cask finish, described as a mix of Highland and Island styles. Built in 1963, Jura is the only distillery in operation on the Hebridean island. Despite the island being rich in peat, the distillery only peated a couple of its whiskies very lightly –Supersition which launched in 2002, and Prophecy which launched in 2009. usl.

Jura has been helped yet overshadowed by the great whisky boom on Islay next door, where there may be a dozen distilleries before long. But Jura is starting to forge its own path with a different style of whisky that’s more Highland in character. Those who taste it may one day visit to find an island the size of Inner London with barely enough people to fill a single street, and where the deer outnumber the locals by 35 to one. Drag the most hard‐bitten supermarket buyer to this remote corner of the Inner Hebrides and it’s job done for Beeston and her team. Once the buyer has given up on their futile quest for mobile reception or Wi‐Fi, they will succumb to this magical isle. In the capital, Craighouse, dubbed ‘downtown Jura’, you will find all you need, as she explains: “The pier is just a stone’s throw from the distillery. The pub and hotel are across the road, and the shop is two doors down.” With Water: A few drops of water temper the peat, releasing notes of salted caramel and vanilla. The same notes appear on the tongue, improving the overall balance of the malt (unless you just love seaweed). In the US, the focus is on distributor E&J Gallo. “We need to build awareness of the story, and we need to build belief and confidence in the brand,” she says. “For the past two years we’ve brought 150 of our US colleagues to Jura in May and June.” At which point it’s job done, like the cynical buyer we met earlier, and the same goes for the 8,000 tourists who visit the distillery each year. “Once there you can’t help but take it to your heart,” says Beeston, who fell under its spell eight years ago while working for Bowmore.

Superstition is a unique whisky created from the marriage of bold, strong peated barley offering evocative smoke and heady malt that you’d expect from an older Jura and a selection stylishly warm and delicately aged malts contributing a sweet, creamy oaty goodness with hints of honey and spice on the tail.You are responsible for all activities through your account.

Graham Logan, Jura distillery manager, said: ‘This marks a hugely significant step for Jura. A new house style of whisky is not for the faint hearted but it tells you where we are now and how committed we are to Jura, the community and our whiskies for the long term. Finish: Of medium length. More of the same notes (salty peat). A hint of citrus creeps in as the peat fades, along with sweet Key lime. Pleasant. Willie Tait is one of two brand ambassadors. He began working at the distillery in 1975, and worked as a tunroom man, mash, stillman under manager, distillery manager and master distiller, before taking the role of brand ambassador. [ when?] In 2011 he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from Malt Advocate magazine. [10]

Read as a neutral statement, that essentially encapsulates the flavor profile of Superstition, a mildly sweet Scotch with a touch of peat smoke and some notes of tropical and earthy spices – pleasant and mildly interesting but not extraordinary.It began being sold as single malt in 1974, and the range has grown steadily since. The start of peating saw some smoky whisky being included in the no-age Superstition brand, launched in 2002, while a 100% smoked Prophecy was released in 2009. And don’t panic just now, it was just the nose that resembled a whiff of almond-like toilet cleaning stuff. We actually liked the overall whisky.
