Isle Of Jura 14 Yrs

Nutty with furniture wax, grilled ham and salted meat, covered in burnt sugar and walnut peel. A walk through a pine forest. No fruity notes, instead a hint of a light perfume. Then rye bread sprinkled with nutmeg. Pretty complex and intriguing.

A little piece of history

The only distillery on the Isle of Jura started its life in 1810 under a different name: Small Isles Distillery. At the turn of the century then owner James Ferguson dismantles the distillery and the remains will lay dormant for nearly 60 years. Then, in 1960, the company gets a new lease of life under different ownership. The name is changed into Isle of Jura, aka Jura, and since then whisky is produced on a regular basis. The current owner is Whyte & Mackay, known for its eponymous blend. W&M also owns Dalmore and Fettercairn Distillery in other parts of Scotland, the northern and eastern highlands respectively.
