Isle of Jura

The first Isle of Jura Distillery was built at Craighouse on the Isle of Jura off the west coast of Scotland in 1810 but closed in 1901 and was subsequently demolished. The present Isle of Jura Distillery was designed by William Delmé Evans and opened in 1963. The Jura Distillery visitor centre and shop offers distillery tours and accommodation in the Jura Distillery Lodge, and the distillery supports The Malt Whisky Writers Retreat and participates in Feis Ile, the Islay Festival of Malt and Music.

Detect a cereal based quality backed up by spices, citrus fruits and pine cones on the nose. Palatewise it is sweet, toffee’d, gristy and carries that same Malt based character – all being moulded neatly into a nice long finish reflecting much of what has gone before.
