This 16 year old from the Isle of Jura was a bronze medal winner at the 2004 International Wine and Spirits Competition. Nose: Fragrant, slightly floral cereal, some minerality at first, becoming increasingly creamy with a hint of orange. Mixed nuts, redcurrant, green apple and finally dark chocolate and spice. Palate: Oily and resinous with sweet tobacco, mixed nuts, clove, milk chocolate and violet. Rich and round. Finish: Drying, fragrant oak. After a few sips some chocolate lingers too. Overall: The whisky of choice for the Isle of Jura's 200 or so inhabitants.
Superstition is a great expression of a single malt whisky dram and takes me back to the deer forest on the slopes of the Paps of Jura- sheer perfection.
