The Isle of Jura is tucked away between the mainland and whisky mecca Islay. The original Jura Distillery was founded in 1810 with the current one opened since 1963. Aside from the ingredients used - soft, peaty water; plain malt dried with warm air - a major contributor to the style of Jura whisky is the use of very tall stills, creating a very light whisky. "Superstition" combines Jura's usual air-dried malt with a heavily peated one to create a dram more akin to it's Islay neighbours.
