I found these at my co-op. ( old jura alert )

[pilch69]

Jura Origin 10 ( the yellow brown box with the sunsetting on the sea )
and a half bottle of superstition

the origin had boxes that had signs of age and a bit of dust, the superstition had no boxes

anyway, the origin was £38 and the superstition £20
both expensive in comparison to their current range but I was always going to buy the lot

I tried to get a discount due to the boxes but they found 2 more boxes, turned out they were same condition , I just bought all 4 ( I collect whisky and have about 250 bottles, so I had 21each to drink, 1 each to keep , i even once sourced an old origin 10 a couple of years back from an auction and even that has a newer box than the ones that must have been found in the back of coops store room ).

loved the superstition, and origin I think is better then the current core equivalent

popped in today, the other 2 origins are still there but they have taken the boxes away
( was hoping for more superstition ) ;-(


I bet some people would kill for them

anyone know roughly what year they might be ?

I've got to be honest I had one sip of the origin and nearly threw up, gave the whole bottle to my pal, the superstition in my view was far superior but hey if u like them then that's all that counts👍

Your correct on the Jura journey, very thin and very harsh with no real excitement in it, if you like the Jura then try the 14 which can on offer be as low as £30 and at £25 the winter addition will take you on a lot from the origin and give you more on your taste buds

Ok , did you enjoy the fruitiness in this whisky? I was surprised how fruity it was, bordering on speyside ish in a strange way, in today's markets at £30 it's a steal , down side to it is it's a 40%

Yes I understand your water point, even at 40% you just never know what it will do to the whisky, I always try also , 👍
