Isle of Jura Superstition

It's the best Jura IMHO

It's ageless. It contains some young peaty Jura - giving it a nice edge

If you want to try something that is neither heavily peated nor heavily sherried, you might like this one. Fruity/nutty (prunes/almonds?) and smooth.

It can seem a little spirity and not so rich when you first open the bottle; be sure to give it some time to breathe, it really improves!

That is the first time I ever heard someone suggest to let Scotch breathe. Is this true?

I definitely think so--and breathing time is more days and weeks than it is "one minute per year" as some people say about wines. I think some big Islays get much bigger, broader and deeper after even a period of months in an open bottle (whereas some more delicate whiskies get flatter and stale after too long in an open bottle--particularly if there is more air than whisky in the bottle). I opened an Ardbeg 10 last night, and after sampling it royally, looked forward to what it would be like after being open for a few weeks.

Ikzelf vind het een zeer aangename whisky en tasting-notes zijn te vinden op

I like it.

It's a blend between whisky made of un-peated and peated malt in carefully balanced proportions. Michael Heads (Distillery Manager) told me the proportions, but I can't remember them now. 13% peated whisky is a figure that comes to mind but I can be completely mistaken...
