In the capital, Craighouse, dubbed ‘downtown Jura’, you will find all you need, as she explains: “The pier is just a stone’s throw from the distillery. The pub and hotel are across the road, and the shop is two doors down.”

In the 18th century,it was reported that islanders made spirit from rowan berries, as well as using the bitter fruit to acidulate their whisky punch. Graham Logan, Jura distillery manager, said: ‘This marks a hugely significant step for Jura. A new house style of whisky is not for the faint hearted but it tells you where we are now and how committed we are to Jura, the community and our whiskies for the long term. The work was completed in 1963, and included the installation of taller stills, allowing the distillery to create a mix of malts.

Read as a neutral statement, that essentially encapsulates the flavor profile of Superstition, a mildly sweet Scotch with a touch of peat smoke and some notes of tropical and earthy spices – pleasant and mildly interesting but not extraordinary.Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service.

Extremely unget-at-able" was how George Orwell described the location of the Isle of Jura in 1946; the island remains difficult to reach today. Most travelers to Jura go by Caledonian MacBrayne car ferry from Kennacraig on the Kintyre Peninsula to Islay, and then cross to Jura from Port Askaig on Islay by the MV Eilean Dhiura, a small vehicle ferry which is run by ASP Ships on behalf of Argyll and Bute Council. Islay can also be reached by air: Islay Airport is served by daily flights from Glasgow. From March to October there is also a passenger ferry from Tayvallich on the west coast of Scotland. [9] Brand ambassadors [ edit ] Built in 1963, Jura is the only distillery in operation on the Hebridean island. Despite the island being rich in peat, the distillery only peated a couple of its whiskies very lightly –Supersition which launched in 2002, and Prophecy which launched in 2009. The core range will also be complemented by a new line-up in global travel retail, which was announced in October last year.

The island distillery is replacing its existing range of Scotch whiskies with a completely new line-up that introduces a new flavour direction for the brand. New dawn: Juradistillery is taking its whisky in a new direction, with a combination of Island and Highland styles The expressions will be replaced with five new bottlings – including a ‘refined and stylish’ bottle design – created around a new signature style, combining subtle smoke with sweetness from American white oak barrels and ‘enhanced’with a Sherry cask finish, described as a mix of Highland and Island styles. From April 2018 Jura’s core range of Origin, Superstition, Diurach’s Own 16 Year Old and Prophecy will be removed from sale.Willie Tait is one of two brand ambassadors.
