Jura Superstition (70cl, 43%)

An old presentation of Jura core range was introduced in the 2000s and bottled until 2018 when the distillery core range was revised and rebranded.

From the jewel of the Scottish Islands - Isle of Jura, where the islanders were previously extremely superstitious. Superstition is matured in a selection of the finest old bourbon barrels. A union of two Jura malt whisky styles: one bold, strong and peated, the other warm and delicate. The bottle is adorned with an Egyptian Ankh cross. This ancient symbol is long rumoured to bring good fortune. The islanders believe that good luck comes by holding the bottle with the Ankh cross in the centre of your palm. Observe this ritual, they say, and good health and fortune will surely follow.

Superstition is a unique whisky created from the marriage of traditional Islay style peated barley and a selection of aged malts.

The Isle of Jura is one of the most isolated in the Hebridean archipelago, and by all logical accounts an unusual place to build a distillery. However, the historic site was re-opened in the 1960s, in part to provide jobs to what was a declining population at the time. The rebuilding of the distillery was backed by blenders Charles Mackinlay & Co, so like Bruichladdich, despite the island being covered in peat, it produced an un-peated spirit to meet the needs of their blends. This continued into the 1990s when Whyte & Mackay became its owners, although they did eventually introduce some peated malt to their distilling, launching the Jura Superstition in 2003.
