Jura Prophecy - Has anyone had it/Any thoughts on it?

[whisk(e)y novice]

I was in a supermarket in Manchester a few days and noticed among the whiskies on the shelves Jura Prophecy. I would have liked to picked one up but at £51.75 a bottle decided against it as I had not long bought a Chivas Regal, a Buffalo Trace, a Black Grouse and 5 bottles of Jim Beam Red Stag. The tasting notes on it got me drooling slightly. I will probably pick a bottle of it up next time I am on a visit to my home town. Has anyone tried Prophecy and if so what are your thoughts?

Did the tasting notes on the Jim Beam Red Stag get you drooling?

there are some notes in the Distilleries & Tasting Notes section, if you haven't seen them:

I've had this on several occasions and think it's not a great whisky, but still very drinkable. That is, however, what I think about Jura in general, so I might be biased. It is definitely not "profoundly peated, though. That may be what I find irritating - I expect a peated dram and get something different. But one thing is for sure, I'd never turn it down if offered one

Yes, it's a pretty good dram and certainly worth buying.

The Boutique Barrel bottlings are even better.

No, I bought 3 bottles of R S as gifts.

Spend your £51.75 on a nice single cask of something else...
