Jura Distillery

Jura Distillery is located on the island of Jura, off the west coast of Scotland, known for its rugged beauty and remote location. Founded in 1810, the distillery has a rich history of whisky production, but was closed in the early 20th century. In 1963, Jura Distillery was reopened by local entrepreneurs Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith, bringing new life to the island community.

A specific feature of Jura Distillery is the use of both non-peated and lightly-peated barley, resulting in a wide range of flavour profiles. The distillery produces whiskies that range from light and fruity to rich and smoky. The whisky is mainly matured in American oak bourbon casks, with occasional use of sherry and wine casks for added complexity.

Jura whiskies are known for their smooth and approachable character, with distinctive notes of citrus, honey, spices and a subtle smoke. The unique combination of traditional methods and innovative maturation techniques makes Jura a beloved name in the world of Scotch whisky.

Isle of Jura Distillery

Jura Distillery stands in the village of Craighouse on the eastern coast of the sparsely populated Isle of Jura. The original distillery was founded in 1810 by local landowner Archibald Campbell and was initially known as the Small Isles Distillery. After several changes of ownership and a long closure, the site fell into disrepair. During the 1960s, the distillery was almost completely rebuilt to create employment and a more secure future for the island community. In 1963, spirit flowed from the stills again after more than sixty years.

Jura is known for an approachable, fruity and balanced style. Soft water comes from Market Loch and reaches the distillery through natural streams and waterfalls. Its exceptionally tall and broad copper stills are among the tallest in Scotland. The extensive copper contact creates a light, aromatic spirit with notes of citrus, orchard fruit, vanilla, malt and spice. Most Jura whisky is unpeated or only gently smoky, although the distillery also produces distinctly peated expressions. Maturation in bourbon, sherry and other carefully selected casks gives each release its individual character.
