Jura Superstition

Nose: a whisper of peat, honey, buttery-sweet notes rather reminiscent of shortbread Palate: sweet, buttery vanilla with a slightly salty edge, mixed with some toasted cereal notes and a small dose of peat Finish: medium, salty-sweet and buttery, with the peat making a final appearance before quickly disappearing. I also get inexplicable notes of black olive that might be due to an alteration of the whisky rather than represent an actual feature. This whisky has a satisfying, more-ish quality that in my opinion is its best feature (and that led me to give it 4 stars instead of 3); it's not amazingly complex, but it's so, so nice to drink, and at the end of the day isn't it what this is all about? A whisky for these rainy days when nothing goes your way and you just need a good pick-me-up.

Good combination of just the right amounts of peat without the overwhelming sensation that overrides the finer notes. The undertones are sweet, crisp, and layered.

Slightly peaty but vanilla sweet

Caramel nose gives way to a sweet greeting on the tongue, with bits of honey and wood smoke thereafter.
