A very peaty and smoky Scotch whisky with mushroom notes. It was awarded a gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge in 2013.
More infoThe Jura distillery is found on the most isolated island off Scotland’s west coast – George Orwell even described it as the most inaccessible of places when writing his novel ‘1984’. With the sumptuous island being home to just 200 people, this unique distillery was founded in 1810 by Lord Archibald Campbell. Closed in 1900, it was renovated in the 60s by two local landowners, Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith. Together they produce gentle, smoky whiskies of remarkable quality. The prestigious distillery‘s whisky is aged in Bourbon oak casks. It stands out for its peaty, smoky aromas, its chocolate and mushroom notes, and its impressively long finish.
About the Producer Jura (Isle of)
Scotland, Isle of Jura. Distillery operational. Owner: Whyte & MackayFounded in 1810, it was not until the early 1960s, under the aegis of MacKinlay MacPherson Ltd that the Isle of Jura distillery became a true player in its own right in the Scotch whisky industry. Despite its geographical proximity to Islay, like Bunnahabhain and Bruichladdich, it produces an unpeated malt, destined for use in the group's blends, MacKinlay's, Cluny and Whyte & Mackay. Nonetheless, in the early 1970s, its owners equipped it with an 8 year old version in a violin-shaped bottle that would go on to become its trademark. It was not until Whyte & Mackay Ltd bought it in the mid-90s that its range would be enriched with older bottlings, notably in the Stillman's Dram range, such as Jura 27 Year Old, Jura 30 Year Old and a 10 Year Old Cask Strength. It was, however, only really in 2010, 200 years after it was founded, that the distillery revealed its true potential with outstanding 30, 36 and 40 year old versions, as well as numerous vintage bottlings, including 1974 and 1975.
