I think it’s exceptional.

Maybe Prestwick Airport at 6am wasn’t the best time to appreciate it.

I think I’d have preferred it with a few drops of water. 50% is too strong for me.

Ordered these 2 yesterday on a flash sale. I've tried the Rock Oyster before and it was superb for a blended malt at that price. Also got a bottle of the cask strength edition for my birthday earlier this year which is a beauty. Looking forward to trying the other variations.

Anyone ever tried Beinn Dubh? Really dark looking stuff, will be sampling tonight.

I have actually, it's basically black like a very dark rum. Or Jaegermeister. Apparently they use very charred casks to get it that colour naturally. 

Personally I thought it was very dull though. Unsurprisingly I reckon burning the shite out of the cask doesn't lend to passing on any wood character or let the spirit shine.

I'm not much of a Jura fan, but was just in the Shawlands Morrisons (I mean the one beside Pollok FC's ground - there are too many close together round there), and they had 2 bottles of the Jura Prophecy marked down at £20 each. Marked down as in a yellow sticker on the box; not a larger promotion. Must be end of a line.

I got one and left the other for someone else, so if anyone's in the area, wire in for a bargain, as it seems to be over £50 most places online.

It's on the bottom of a shelf at the end of one of the drinks aisles (the checkout end) with a bunch of other marked down stuff (e.g. the  200ml bottles of regular Jura are all just £5). This is 2 aisles down from the one where all the whisky is.

All of the Jura lines are ending and getting replaced.

You should work for MI5.

I do. And you're in deep trouble, my lad.

Haven't tried any of it but it still looks like a few of them are still 40%. Uninspiring stuff so won't be going out of my way to try them.
