I bought a bottle of Jura Superstition a few months back when it was on offer in Asda for £22. I enjoyed the bottle more than i expected to and look forward to purchasing another when it's on offer again. Another great review Ralfy!
Great stuff Ralfy! Just found your channel and love your style and classic Scottish personality.
Cheers Gregg.
THat "gift tag" really gets me. Rather hilarious!
Looks like this is a very affordable bottle around here. Might be my next go to.
excellent review as always, have to admit i really like this one, reminds me of an open fire on a chill winter morning. But certainly one of my favorite available Juras. Many thanks.
Just started tipping a bottle of this very same about a week ago, enjoying it thoroughly.
Always a pleasure Ralfy! I'm already looking forward to your next one. Stay well. Sincerely, Ossie
Just had this over the weekend. Loved it.
OMG Ralphy's taste buds can identify so many fruits and aromas...simply amazing,ha!
Thanks to this review, I tried this one for the first time at a bar in Miami last night that had a surprisingly good selection, and I really loved it! It's a really interesting take on the Jura character, with that slight peaty note, and I have to agree with you, it makes the 10 year old seem a little too young (even though I've always liked the 10 Year old). Thanks for reviewing this one! It made for a great night last night, and a new favorite to add to the collection.
First time viewer. I enjoyed your video review very much - Had Superstition in my glass as I listened and your notes were spot on.
Have been enjoying your posts through the Scottish Cultural Centre Facebook page; wanted to learn about whiskey, the final frontier. Clearly I've come to the right place.
happy to help with your malt-moments.
Thanks for doing this review! :D
just sat for the first time and had 3 nice drams of this, very warming lovely stuff.
In the US, we get 43% Scotch, you get Cuban cigars (outrageously priced). Fair trade, my friend. Thanks for the great review, Ralfy!
True, outrageously priced.
Too bad though that here in Europe we have just a small selection of the cigars that are available in the states :-( And they too are over priced in comparison..
Poolside Cigar Reviews don't worry Cuban cigars are overpriced and overated. I prefer Dominican republic or even Nicaragua
Oh dear its me again! Just checking in to say I gagged on the first swig then fell in love ..
Absolutely loved this for all the reasons you mention. Lightly peated for the win. You can enjoy this with water or go all night with ice. Intoxicating 'well young' malt this one. Often discounted in the supermarkets too. Anorak lanyard .. some guy in China is laughing all the way to the bank. Nerds!
Thanks Ralfy, good review . Accidentally I just finished the bottle of Jura Superstion few weeks ago and it was interesting for me to hear your opinion . Personally I did enjoyed it very much, even though, my every day malt laitly, is Springbank CV and Longrow CV.
Avaliable, affordable and a very decent single malt. Thx Ralfy!
querido rlafy estoy sumamente deleitado por las verdaderas razones que das en este review, "no se puede controlar a la gente que controla su propio dinero", y si la frace es tuya, te felicito por que es brillante, me encantaria compartirla. pd: 1984, me parecio uno de los libros mas fuertes que lei. Respecto del whiski compre una botella para mi cumpleaño del año pasado y fui tomandola durante todo el año para terminarla en mi cumple años de este año. saludos
Of the Jura standard bottlings I prefer Elixir. When I see a bottle of Jura I am reminded of the young ladies coming out the tanning salon and when I see the tango coloured ladies I think of a bottle of Jura... both lovely to look at, but both fake coloured!
ROFL! And i mean it. Glad i didnt drink anythign this evening, because i possibly would have spilled it now.
I will never look the same on a tanning salon....
I like the bottles in the background that say yes or no to Scottish independence.
golfguy777 Scotland said No
It's my second Jura. I find some flavor of egg liquor after some drop of water. Absolutely agree with you about some hints of orange marmalade.
Cheers Ralfy! Thanks for what you're doing, it's been a joy to watch your journey. I was wondering if you'd be tasting the Prophecy as well.
Have fun with the gift tag, thanks for the review..
I just got a bottle of this from Tesco £14.30! Reduced to clear, a very nice drop
Great video Ralfy. I like the subtle peat note in Superstition but I also get a wet paper note that I associate with young spirits. I still prefer the 16YO among the official range.
Ralfy has this ever been done?;
disassembling, for instance a 12yo great cask used only once and turn it inside out steam it up, season, condition then toast it, reassemble accordingly.
could quite possibly work a treat!!
funny how I got this idea wasn't whisky related but that's another story.
btw: it worked!!
Thanks Ralfy and cheers to all inovators!
Do you prefer this over talisker 10?
I really like this one. I love bourbon and sherry and the two combined with young make just induce my braingasm. Amazing drink. Well recommend it to all. Its one of those that you can have on ice or neat and its great both ways. Can't say that about most malts! For me this is is indeed as good as it gets for £25.
cgavin1 The bottle I had was a few years old. 2012 iirc. I got a new one today to taste with a mate and its 'similar' but nowhere near as complex. It looks like they are using more peat than before and the ratio of 2-3 year old to older has shifted more toward the young with the peat trying to hide it. Its just not the same. Mine was a bit dull on the finish too- the sweet/sour was gone. Tastes almost exactly like an iced up Ardmore Traditional. Its all just less 'lightly' peated young make now. Refilled casks refilled too many times. Shame! The bourbon/sherry woodniess and sweetness really worked well with the peat but its just too much peat and not enough finish now. You can really actually taste the difference. They have just scrimped on the bit that matters like typical penny pinching lamers. The older Jura and the reasonably-close-to-first-fill casks made it special. Not anymore. Would not recommend this now at £25. At that price I prefer a decent Bourbon (Trace) or a Pulteney (12). Seems to be like most other good cheap stuff; its only good and cheap for a while. Whyte & McKay just always dissapoint me. They never seem to put quality ahead of quantity. They have become synonymous with cheapness and penny pinching. Most people when they find something they like will pay whatever it costs within reason to keep it tasting that good. Instead all we get is incrementally worse bottlings until nobody buys it except the Chinese. Why must capitalism be so capitalist. Heh.
informative Ralfy.
I hope to find a local whisky fest in my area for a tasting.
i really like it! Spicy and good! and a showergel bottle.
A friend got me Jura Superstition once for my birthday. I was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me of an Highland Park 12 yr but with a little less peat and more of a sherry cask/cherry stone note throughout the development. If you haven't tried this whisky you should give it a shot. It doesn't have much if any E150 flavor either so I'd say go for it.
hi ralfy, is this one good? i have a bottle yet to be opened.. i'm planning to buy another one for sipping, would u recommend diurach 16 yr old or this one?
Hey Ralfy we do get the Speyburn 10 at 43% here in the States but we get all of the El Dorado rums at 40% instead of 43% like you guys. Breaks my heart.
For around the same money as the Superstition I would go for the Jura 16, definitely a standby of mine.
And as an as side, El Dorado rocks
Good review and fair mark. This is only very middle-of-the-road in terms of quality and value, but it's a great example of skillful use of NAS labeling. Superstition is a combination of 13 and 21 y.o. whisky, with 13% peating and, if I was making it, I might not want people to know that was the best I could do with that sort of aging either (particularly if I was Richard Paterson, who put together bottles supposedly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars). As Ralfy notes, this whisky comes across as much younger. Ironically, I swapped a bottle of this away as well, getting a bottle of Jura 10 in return, which I thought was a better, more honest, expression.
If there's any more than a dollop of 21 year old whisky in this, I will eat that bottle cork and all. :)
While I'd believe 13 years for the rest of the unpeated stuff, I still suspect the peated portion is younger. Much younger. Remember how all of the unvatted, purely peated bottlings we've seen (mostly OB) are vintage marked as distilled in 1999? Remember how Superstition first came out in 2003? Yeah...
Scott Ferguson We're certainly on the same page in terms of likely content by percentage volume, but if there's whisky in there less than 13 y.o., then Jura's lying to Master of Malt but, as a side note, Jura's website says "The finest young and aged (UP TO 21 years) whiskies go into this mysterious bottle, so there's a different flavour to explore with every drop", so you might well have a case.

whooz not lyin maltmate, isn't that the bigr Q.?
I have not tried Jura. Always seemed a little pricey. I'll have to watch for this one. Thanks Ralfy.
@Dave Ireland the Yes/No referendum bottles were sold via the Good Spirits Co. In Glasgow. 140 bottles were available and it's 23 years old. I have a bottle which I'm keeping until September.
Hi Ralfy, from one scot to another, can you possibly visit Artisan restaurant in Wishaw for an evening please? Over 1300 whiskies to taste and some rare ones into the bargain. I'm sure this Ralfy follower would cherish the prospect meeting you for a local tasting and visit. C'mon make our day :)
Just got it here in norway. :-)my first to day.
Oh well try and try again!
Hello Ralfy.
Jura Superstition scares the heck out of me only because the last time I bought a bottle (3yrs ago this July) it was an overwhelming "leather" experience. So much that it could pass for "English Leather" cologne. I waited and wished and just could not wish away that foul taste.
It was for me undrinkable but it did however make a TERRIFIC 6month aged Scotch-Irish "Ralfy Fruitcake" (JS w/Jameson's).that is still lauded even today especially around Xmas time!! (lovely bottle though still have it)
in your tasting notes there were no mention of leather at all so things may have very well changed (or maybe I just had an "off bottle of JS)
Maybe I'll give it another whack since 85 in today's numbers is nothing to sneeze at. Thanks mate.
Peace
no significant leather-stuff in this bottling.
Oh ho ho ho I didn't know you had a grasp on the funny money.
I usually avoid Jura. Same with Dalmore, because in my opinion Whyte and Mackay are the worst when it comes to adding E150a caramel colouring. Just look at any whisky shelf and you'll have a range of colours then there are the deep red Juras and Dalmores (though Bowmore are up there too). As Richard Paterson says, they do it because their customers expect that consistency in colour. Good luck to them.
Off topic my good man. Did a job for the company acountant on time, he gave me a small bottel off Port Charlott. Shit :-) Ewrything changed. The year there after i bring my fly rod to islay,.... say no more... Love your way off thinking about the malts. Greetings from Norway.
+Tom Hatle . . . all part of the great Journey !
I bought 5 bottles of this today in Asda, at.......wait for it......£15 for a 70cl bottle!
I kid you not, Malt Mates.
Has to be the bargain of the century.
Another gooden Ralfy!
We couldn't help noticing that you've been 'taking some heat' regarding the smooth factor. I think its fair game once its brought up in a review.
Personally, and to just speak for the Maltbar its more the context than the word itself. If we can appreciate it for what IT is it might not need to be such a bitter pill to swallow.(pun intended:)~
cheers Ralfy
No question this dram has a youthful bite/harshness, but also a very nice balance of interesting and memorable flavors that you touch on. I'm leaning towards Bunnahabhain 12 for my peat-smokey quality per penny (or Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Talisker), but I suppose that's what Jura gets for trying to leverage on the latest no age statement craze. A heavy cigar works very well with this Jura, try any Bolivar or Partagas vitola and voila, this one seems to do well with a bit of oxidizing. Oh yeah, other nice thing about single malts in the States is 750, not 700 ml. USA USA!
Yes ralfy, of course yes.
I'm trying to figure out whats the deal with the bottles behind Ralfy, it's as if he's trying to ask us something. Scotch Whiskey Or? Clever Mr Ralfy.
wait and see !
My first Jura
Really don't like buying from Whyte and Mackay because I dislike their practices, but I might give this a go.
Free gifts are not needed with a good quality malt. Having said that I've purchased bottles with free nosing glasses (only if not priced higher) so I have two Bunnahabhain glencairns, a Glen Moray, Glenmorangie and a Glengoyne "rocks" glasses but also shaped for nosing, that I accept. Otherwise it's almost insulting.
Would be interested to know what you think of Cutty Sark "Storm" and the re-imagined "Black Bottle" next time you do a "blended roundup". Totally agree on your review of Superstition...I'm not a huge fan of the Jura lineup, but have to say that I think this is the best of them, as far as it goes. Take care you malty megalomaniac!
Hello Rafly. What are you opinions on Whyte and Mackay being bought by a Philippine company?
If they send more money on casks for quality improvement, good luck to them.
Ralfy, I am grateful for your comments regarding whisky having been a powerful local currency and the real reason why London imposed taxes on it - in order to take power away from the Scottish people. What you say sounds very plausible. Is this comment connected to the up and coming referendum?
In your opinion, how would Scottish Independence affect the Single Malt Whisky industry? Do you think an independent Scotland ought to pursue a policy of taking back the distillery ownership from “foreigner”?
Thank you for a timely review of Superstition as this whisky is readily available in all the Duty Frees in Europe and very popular at the moment. I thought you were generous giving it 85 but because of your opinion, I want to give this another go despite having a negative experience with my initial tasting. Frankly, I found not only the packaging but the whisky itself tacky and cheap.
When I tasted the Superstition from a newly opened bottle, my initial reaction was that it was very immature and lacking elegance. I also thought it tasted mildly of roasted toffee and glazed sour orange peel. This was however all masked by the roughness of the spirit. You said brown sugar and marmalade and I wouldn’t disagree.
As you mentioned, it claims to be lightly peated. Maybe my peat recognition is overloaded from all the Laphroaigs, Clynelishs, Ledaigs, Ardmores and Ardbegs I’ve been drinking lately but I really could not detect much evidence of peat.
I am again really curious as to how you identified a lot of sherry influence which I did not. In fact, from this is what the Jura website says:
"...balance of peated and unpeated spirits is matured to perfection in ex-Bourbon casks".
Now bearing in mind they also write that others in their range are a mixture of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon, it would seem reasonable to assume that Superstition does not contain any ex-sherry so I continue to be puzzled and a little worried by your comments. If you are correct then the distilleries are not being 100% honest.
The Scottish Referendum will be discussed nearer the date of decision. True, this Jura is young, but I added marks for fullness of arrival and development. The finish is certainly short and slightly rough.
*****
Bcuz its a NAS whisky, not unlyk much of the shyte comin outa Scotland theez days.
. . . . also, (in my opinion) Jura is known to regularly mature spirit in several casks over time (double-maturation, 'finishing' casks e.t.c.) and as there is no rules on declaring ALL casks used in maturation, technically any cask statement can be true. Rather opaque, but commercially expedient. In my reviews if I sense sherry (rasins and tannin) I tell it as I find it.
***** Fascinating situation.
1. I've watched all your vlogs and really do trust your ability to identify ex-sherry casks.
BUT
2. It seems totally illogical that any distillery would double mature and avoid mentioning this fact as it's a strong selling point. Especially as they do mention the use of sherry casks in other whiskies it makes no sense not to mention it here and state ex-bourbon only.
Perhaps they don't mention it as the amount of sherry casks they used in total for the final product is so small that it wasn't worth mentioning. In which case your identification of them is even more remarkable and impressive.
One explanation might be that certain fruity raisins flavours might be coming from skilled distillation sweet cuts. Tomintoul for instance is very fruity yet they state (and it has been confirmed) that they use 100% ex-bourbon casks on certain ranges.
So you see that you have left me in a quandry.
Jura: where Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) lived out his last years; and where The KLF burned a million quid! Still yet to try the Whisky :)
Props to George Orwell
Hi Ralfy, the wife and I are loving your reviews. I was looking to see if you've done a video for Jura Origin 10yo but cannot find. Have you reviewed that yet? Best wishes, Ryan
Please do more Jura's
Thnx for review. Do U recomend this whisky?
Question, I am in the united states , how can i get a bottle ? Also if i get it online will i be paying more for shipping than the bottle itself ?
I can give you the address to a shop in Michigan that still has this on the shelf 😆
7:16
Ralfy: *rant about the gift tag*
Ralfy: Aha, there's kind of a whiny note coming through here.
Me: There certainly is.
Wouldn’t be a Ralfy video without a Ralfy rant! It’s all part of the experience.
Any chance of reviewing rum anytime soon? For example the diplomatico vintage 2000 matured in ex-bourbon and scotch whisky casks :) greetings from Belgium
rum reviews later this year.
that thing is the silliest shit ive ever seen. putting your glass on the table while writing down notes is not an option? good entertainment value.
on another note, Ralfy im extending my first fill sherry bomb collection atm. is there any of the more obscure distilleries that goes very well with sherry maturation? thought about getting some less obvious choices, differing from the typical Glendronachs, Longmorns, Strathislas ect.
Glenfarclas, Glen Garioch and Glen Elgin !
Lovely review.
Bit of an oddball question here to spice things up a bit, if you could drink any whisky with the Doctor(yes that one). What would your choice of bottle be and why?
Good question, actually, the small aquatic planet of Flusz in the Febulan Sector of Orion has an incredible seaweed liquor called Fluszjooz which the Doctor and I shared with some reformed 'hippy' Sontarans a few weeks ago, . . . . . excellent evening spent wave-walking. Our bottle only lasted three days such was the success of the party ! When it comes to Scotch, we both agree on Balblair.
***** "Balblair, Vintages Timed to Perfection." You really are a master at cleverly disguised puns aren't you. Wait no not a Master..
A "Magniloquently Malt Martian" then.
Nice review; I almost find this one to be like a slightly more schizoid Highland Park 12. Peated Juras are so hard to nail down, I suspect because they might be vatting very young, more heavily peated spirit (maybe even at 5-6) with older (unpeated) stuff. To me that's the only thing that explains how they behave in the mouth. The Prophecy (which I actually prefer!) is even more extreme in this regard - really peaty spirity arrival, long woody finish. Anyhow, the OB Juras are very "constructed" but as such seem to work much better than most.
And I would much recommend the Prophecy if you haven't tried it. If the Superstition (which I'd probably nail as an 83-84) is a Highland Park alternative, the Prophecy (which, last I tried it, was about an 87+) is more like a Talisker with more barley fruitiness and just a little nudge in the oloroso direction (old furniture, stale prunes, Nicaraguan cigars, etc.).
Scott Ferguson Thanks I just bought a bottle and have not opened it yet so your score of an 87 is encouraging
Nick Scott-Turner
not so much n 87 but if u re-view the revu Ralfy pegs it @ n 85/100 wich is still very kind indeed. I'd put it @ n 83/100 personaly. gud luc w/tht
EZ duz it.
Radio Laboratory Thanks, that's the Superstition though, right?
The one I bought is the Prophecy, which I was hoping might be slightly better. Have you tried it?
Ralfy,
Looked on eBay US site, but did not see the lanyard. That to me is a must have as I have dogs and cats and I do most single malt drinking at home. When a cat crosses my path I have dropped the aqua vitae if you will, on the floor and that is a shame. Anyhow might you be able to recommend anywhere else other than eBay?
Mike
Does your Browser have a "Shopping" prompt? If so the results go well beyond eBay.
I notice the lamp in the corner of your bothy is unlit in this vlog. Is it an oil lamp and if it is, do you not get stinky parafinn fumes marring your tasting experieence?
Yes he did. A recent review, if I remember correctly, highlighted this problem.
I now use odourless lamp-fuel, not paraffin.
Ralfy! Is not "rough" the opposite of "smooth" which just last review you decried as a poor adjective! Just busting your chops, love your videos.
good point !
Haha brilliant point!
Interesting thing that you didn't find any bandaid, iodine medical smells. I have tried and owned a many scotches, I love my peated Laphroaig and Ardbeg but this is the first time that I've explicitly experienced that medicine bandaid smell that's mentioned so often. But it was there only on the first third of the bottle than later completely disappeared. Bandaid, iodine, like you've just entered in the hospital, very, very explicit smell... And also powder milk, condensated milk! Very strange and intriguing smells but as bottle went to the 2/3 it all went away. Still left me with some great spicy and full bodyed single malt for the rest of it.
Hello you malty mindblower! Can you please pop the cork of the 2013 Kilchoman Machir bay and tell me what you think of my new favorite malt whisky?
Just tried three Jura miniatures (origin, 16YO and the Superstition). Yeah, I finally wanted to try some Jura for the first time but I have to say: very, very dissapointing. Superstition: bad nose (several people compare it to cheap tequilla, I had some tequilla once a very long time ago so I can't confirm this) but again: the nose is not nice, at all. Tastewise: not as bad as the nose but I never would buy a bottle of Jura.
To be honest: I'm now familiar with about 60 different single malts but Jura is simply the worst. Sorry guys... (among the better whisky's in my opinion: HP18, Glendronach 15/21/Tawny Port Finish and CS, Glenfarclas (21/25), Springbanks, Hazelburn 12, Old Pulteney 21, Glenlivet Nadurra, Redbreast 12Y CS). Oh, and I just tried a miniature of Bunnahabhain 12YO: elegant and quite distinctive! (and bottled at 46.3%).
De Kift thanks for the info!
Agreed, Jura has been the only distillery I've had completely disappointing results from, often watery and underflavoured.
@@kareliask Jura Superstion is definitely NOT underflavoured.
My favourite whisky now discontinued 😭 any suggestions for a replacement? Asking from UK
. . . go on a journey of discovery, like people, when one malt leaves, another arrives.
@@ralfydotcom thank you Ralfy I'll see what I can find. Big fan of your videos, hope you're staying safe.
Try Benromach 10. A Speyside dram but similar levels of peat smoke with fruity and sherry notes. Same ABV as the Superstition and also decent value at around £30.
@@sambrewster8556 sounds reasonable, thank you I will try this
master Ralfy what about Jura Elixir" 46% ? me and my wife give it a try and tasted like yestderday it was very fruity and some like sweet? best regards Ralf keep up the excelente work!!!!!!!
Hi Ralfy. I have a whisky review request for when you have time and you want something to post on youtube between those single malt reviews (which are awesome btw). It's Label 5 Classic Black Blended Scotch. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your response.
Hey Ralfy, yes or no? Funny little joke in the background=D Does it have a story behind it?
yes, wait and see !
ralfystuff have you done a review of the Jura Prophecy heavily peated? I searched with "jura" but didn't see Prophecy. Thanks!
Only just noticed the 'Yes Or No' labels in the background, care to explain?
Aah! Its a reference to the impending referendum. I'm with Tommy Sheridan.
Dave Ireland no spoilers, all will be explained later !
heheh peat smoky have 2 malt mentions this and review 473
Something other than first
Glenmorangie Signet and Balvenie Roasted Malt 14 y.o.
Please, Ralfy!
Great suggestions...here a bottle of Signet is just under $200, that's really on the hi side of "affordable malts", the packaging alone is nes plus ultra indeed. A $200 NAS...who would've guessed this would characterize 2014 malt trending? I could either make my car payment this month...OR i could score a bottle of anything-goes Scotch that i am expected to feel PRIVELEGED to obtain at ANY price... Surreal is what it is... NAS for generic table liquor costing under $10 is one thing....but $200 for NAS? I love Glormangie but jeeez...
Fyi: "Glormangie" my contraction/spelling of convenience...i haven't priced the Balvenie & at least they give a tally of maturing years...i don't know whether or not introducing label standards ("must reveal ingredients, must identify x, y & z clearly") would bring new discipline to distillers & provide their clients with reasonable & sensible data. No hiding colorants. No marketing nonsense. No secret chill filtration. Manufacturers are proud of their amber nectar, and rightly so, so how does it hurt them to be forthcoming w/information? Manufacturers don't keep secrets so they can bring the public better value, their secrecy is 100% self-serving. Who's kidding who?
Second! :)
Quick question Ralfy: have you tried Jura Prophecy and, if so, is it a step up from Superstition and/or worth the money? Keep up the good work!
sorry to jump in but yes its better than this one, genuinely aged whiskys but quite refined rather than rugged. Lots of Fino sherry casks involved so its quite dry as well as sweet. I quite enjoyed a recent bottling, but have been very diasppointed with recent Supersitions. I would put the average age in the Propehcy blend at least at 16 years old. As Ralf has said it isn't that peaty though.
chrish12345 Thanks for the assist. I've given up NAS, so it's really only for information, but it sounds like I'd be disappointed anyway, as the marketing point seemed to be the peating and it's not quite there.
No its not that peaty but it was/is ( I had mine about 6 months ago) a good cost/quality ratio malt.
chrish12345 Hi guys, I also had the same question since I bought the Prophecy yesterday and it is supposed to be heavily peated, so thanks for that I hope Ralfy reviews it at some point.
Hope it really is better, bottled at 46% but I'm sure chill filtration has occurred and colour has been added.
Interested to know how much you paid, talking about the cost/quality aspect?
My bottle cost me ZAR 635, approx 59 USD or 35 GBP.
it's OK and will probably be reviewed later this year !
has my malt mention been mentioned yet?
I checked the M-mention list and have no record of your M-mention, please remind me and I will List it !
Oh god. No idea. How about Malty Midnight Marauders
. . . now on the M-mention list !
huzzah!
I really hope it was the bottle I bought however when I tried this it was the worst whisky I have had to date by far. Chemically is how I would describe the flavour. Would never buy a Jura product again without tasting it first.
India also gets 43%.
Can't have fiscal independence can we Ralf...nah...its about surviving and barely so not thriving right old DUDE!
My bottle of Superstition is still unopened.
First!
First
this used to be SO good (say 3 years ago), was a real bargain with very old rugged whiskys dominating. Now its just flat as a pancake and boring as everything else in my opinion.
First??
first?
The 10 year Jura is like drinking coarse sand paper. I'm not even sure I would buy any Jura regardless of age. by far my biggest disappointment whisky purchase. the lismore 21 is my close second failure.
Getting a bit political in the background Ralfy :)
whisky and politics are inseparable in Scotland.
First?
First :)
. . . verified !
didnt liked it very much, too sweet in the nose, almost smelled liked a vat69
Pretty ordinary in my book. A big disappointment.
Smells like cheap Tequila and has a harsh medicinal taste, nothing good about it in my opinion. I've given it numerous chances but still can't enjoy it. There is a distinct lack of flavor and the finish drops off instantly
One of my least favourite whiskies
First
