Right lad a quick story, on a visit last september to a pal down south i was bought five whiskies and jura origin was one i sipped and said sorry cant drink that, well my pal whos not a spirit drinker tried it and said ok he will finish it, well 5 months on he now has a bottle a week after a hard week away at work, now i dont want to here its poor its undrinkable as i already know that but hey it suits him, ive tried getting him to branch out but as hes not advanced into whisky he dosnt want to spend Â£30 and not like it so please im asking you experts in your view what if any tastes very similer to jura origin??? Oh he did try superstition which he said was horrid.. Many thanks lads

Taste simliar to Jura Origin? The contents of any used sepctic tank will do, and it'll save him a few quid too.

Well, he could buy something decent. If he leans more towards the island style then a HP12, try out the new Talisker Skye or go for something like a Johnnie Walker Black. If he likes Jura Origin but doesn't like HP12 then he has a palate configuration issue and should probably stick to larger Very Happy

Opel, i am working on him but if hes happy then alls fine, my main thing im trying to do is find the nearest tasting whisky to the origin but wll i get is how poor the origin is, like i say ive know him for over 30 yrs and never known him to drink whisky until.now.

Is it really that bad? I've had it before but wasn't offended by it.
