Jura - Superstition

[deanobillquay]

Now I'm normally a bushmills and balvennie man but tried this at the weekend and was quite impressed.

Very reasonable price at sainsburys too.

Anyone else like this? Got any preferences/recommendations for whisky at a reasonable price? (under 40 quid a bottle)

Try Royal Lochnagar.

A fusion of just about everything that is 'distinctive' in other whiskies. A few say that means it's 'undistinctive', but I think it makes it perfect. From (distant) Jura seemed a slightly lighter, sweeter version missing a few elements.

Nice bottle this one. I'm actually on a cheap Jura, Jura Origin just now 10 year old at £23 from Tesco, it's nice enough.

A certain supermarket that pats your ass! have some good offers on at the moment. £17 a bottle for glen Moray, super smooth, light, and quaffable to the max. They have Abalour also for £18 these are 2 super malts for next to nothing.

I have been to the Jura distillery......nice place and Superstition is quite decent.

Aberlour Abundah is superb.

Black Bottle for a 'cooking' whisky is best value.

10 year old Talisker is best of the bunch before you start spending lots of Scottish pounds.

I'm into Irish whiskeys such as tullamore dew or bushmills at the minute. Nice and light and not smokey which suits me

Bunnahabhain is a good one too, although I've yet to see this in the supermarkets.

I popped a bottle of Glenfarclas 105 on Saturday night and was very impressed. Usual Speyside quality, subtle with a great explosion of flavours once its down. It was a present and not one I'd have bought myself but it'll certainly be on my watch list from now.

We used to give that to customers at Christmas, cracking bottle :thup:

That's a mighty strong one
