The Isle of Jura distillery uses x Bourbon oak in the main with some sherry casks. Jura's former manager, Michael Heads, explained, "......the whole character of the place, mainly through the water we use and the conditions we mature it in, the fact that we're sitting beside the sea with salty air help to give Jura whisky its unique taste." Drawing on the distilleries older malts and spring-peated younger whiskies, Jura Superstition is a tribute to the people, the traditions and the mystical heritage that make Jura island life unique. Aged in a selection of the finest ex-Bourbon casks to bring out spicy notes and subtle smokiness.

Other reviews… A rare case of where the whole is better than the parts. A malt that wins through because of a superb balance between peat and sweeter barley. Distinctive to the point of being almost unique. 43% Alc./Vol.
86 points - Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2006

Nose: Immediate peatiness.Turfy rather than marine. Phenolics, macadamia nut, horchata. Light meaty note. Sweet centre. Palate: Light smoke lying above firm, young grassy, notes. beech nuts, heather. Silky feel. Finish: Good length. Drifting smoke. Comment: This seems to have the peatiness more to the fore than in the past. Rating: 77 - tasting note sourced from www.whiskymag.com
