Today, I’ll be taking a look at Jura Superstition. It’s one of their standard expressions and will set you back somewhere between $29-46 in most shops. The name, so the folk at Jura tell us, stems from the many superstitions present on the Isle of Jura. One of them is that it is unlucky to… [Continue Reading]
Jura 10 was, I believe, the first whisky produced upon the reopening of the distillery a handful or so of decades ago (that rhymes, by the way). The symbol it carries is apparently of ancient Celtic design and is the sign of “birth, beginning and the forces of nature” (that’s straight from Jura, that). Fascinating… [Continue Reading]
“You lucky, lucky bastard.” That’s what I imagine most of you will be thinking in about a minute, once you’ve read what the mailman handed me a little while back.

The time during which the Edinburgh fringe festival is on – just under a month, for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, of non-stop madness (there are some 2,500 different shows, most of which run 6 days a week, and an endless number of visitors) – is both tiring and invigorating, fun and… [Continue Reading]
If you’re looking for a Christmas whisky but don’t enjoy Glenfarclas 15 – which is arguably the most Christmas-y drink you will find – I’d recommend you keep reading, because Dailuaine 27 from Master of Malt is a good contender for the honorable title of Christmas Dram of the Year 2011 – which I just… [Continue Reading]
