Whisky Review: Jura Superstition

Hits the tongue with a smooth and sweet (if not viscous) drop of honey. After a couple moments, that begins to turn smoky and spicy. The smoke again is peaty but subtler than in the nose. While spicy notes of cloves, pepper and cinnamon take more dominance yet are still held in the check by the honeyed flavor base, with a touch of the citrus and wood notes. Swallowing leaves the spicy notes mingling with a touch of citrus in the back of the mouth and sweet coating over the center of the tongue. Final Thoughts & Score/Buy A Bottle: Score: 83/100 Again, “subtly sweet yet smoky” pretty well sums up Jura Superstition. It has some tropical characteristics that give it some character, but it is by and large dominated by its honey-like sweetness and its spiciness, with varying degrees of peat smoke throughout the experience. It’s a smooth, solid whisky, but it’s not likely to blow you away with its complexity.
