It is one of the smoothest Islay's I've had! I'm a huge fan of Lagavulin 16 and love the smoke in it. Superstition isn't as smoky but there is a little hickory smoke in there.

I love this scotch!

I have a bottle at home now. I like it.

BTW it's not an Islay malt, it's from Jura, an Island adjacent to Islay.

Bruichladdie makes some very smooth malts, though most are not as peaty as the rest of the Islay distilleries.

It's not an Islay? I could have sworn I read that it was. Regardless I enjoyed it immensely! It might very well by my favorite now or at least my co-favorite with Lagavulin 16!

This should help:

Isle Of Jura, Superstition Scotch

Superstition is the result of a marriage of two whiskies. The first one is characterized by its peaty taste, in the traditional style of Islay, and the other by it's delicate mildness.The dark colour recalls the Mahogany wood, with gold glints.The sweet smell due to the long stay in american oak casks mixes itself with some phenol, honey and marzipan hints.The very complex taste reveals spices, pine and peat fragrances.
