The meeting was held at Clark Harrison's home. Our first selection was Jura Superstition, 43%ABV. It has no age listed. The bottle was obtained by Kevin Gaw for $46. The second tasting was an unusual single malt whisky from New Zealand called Millford. It was aged in oak casks for 10 years.
Jura Superstition Tasting Notes
Color: We settled on copper/gold, although color assessments were variable. In the bottle, it appeared darker, almost mahogany.
Nose: Caramel, apples, malty cereal with floral notes.
Flavor: Spicey, peppery, and oily. With wather, it became sweet and creamy.
Finish: Moderately prolonged with a gentle peppery finish.
Comment: Members varied. Some were impressed, and others dismayed. Overall, it was felt to be a interesting scotch, but not spectacular.
Group score: 85 (range 80 to 89)
