malt fan,
I need to get my hands on the Prophecy… I think i reviewed the Jura Boutique XU, which is peatier than all those (30ppm) and I loved it.
As for underestimating it, well, it’s been too long, i need to retaste it got a sample for me?

Thanks for the kind words, and yes, i am actually tasting all those dram IN ISRAEL. yes, sir!
I have quite a lineup coming in the next weeks/months, up my sleeve… so watch this space.

What are your favourite whiskies?

Gal.

Gal – I too would love to read your notes on the Prophecy!

Malt Fan, you may be interested in my notes on the Prophecy (this review covers 4 Jura whiskies): http://jewishsinglemaltwhiskysociety.com/?p=3462

I came back to the Superstition and came up with a different feeling on it than I had the first time I had it but, the Prophecy is a much better dram. Gal, you being a peathead, I bet you’d agree!!

Will there be a Jura Prophecy review soon?
I’ve heard that it’s the more peaty one in the Jura family, but as much as I tried, I just couldn’t find a dram in Israel (even in pubs). As to the Superstition, I tasted it once, and it was great.
I think you may have underestimated its depth just a little bit (you wrote you were recovering from a cold – perhaps you’d like to taste it once more?).
I remember it to have significant citrus notes (both in nose and palate), maybe a bit jam-like (but without the intense sweetness, if I make any sense), a pinch of peat, and there was also something else in there… I can’t quite point to it, but it kind of a smokish thing, but of different kind than that I know from other malts I’ve had.

Very nice site, by the way. Are you actually tasting all those drams IN Israel? anyway, it’s quite an impressive tasting resume – hopefully I’ll catch up with the most of it someday

I finished my bottle a few weeks ago. While I liked it, I'm not sure I'll replace it. I'd really like to try some of the Jura Paps or the aged bottles. I think there's a 10 & 16yr (plus older ones).

Thanks josh.
i really didn't get those coastal notes, but maybe my nose was not at top form. its ok to have different notes, from different noses. i'll try to keep an open “nose” for next time. (that is when i buy a bottle- sample all out).
u got that one?
