Jura Journey

The ideal introduction to a world of flavour, subtle smoke and sweetness in perfect balance.

It’s the journey, not the destination that shapes us. The path from our foundation to the rebirth of our distillery in 1963 has shaped the character of our community and the whisky we produce.

This road has led us to our own unique style, matured in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Amber gold

Nose: Aromas of vanilla spice, citrus and a hint of light smoke

Taste: Cinnamon, pears, pecans and toffee fudge

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.
