Finish: Of medium length. More of the same notes (salty peat). A hint of citrus creeps in as the peat fades, along with sweet Key lime. Pleasant. Willie Tait is one of two brand ambassadors. He began working at the distillery in 1975, and worked as a tunroom man, mash, stillman under manager, distillery manager and master distiller, before taking the role of brand ambassador.

Jura’s new range will be rolled out globally in an effort to ‘appeal to new drinkers’, in what’s being called ‘a new dawn’ for the distillery. The core range will also be complemented by a new line-up in global travel retail, which was announced in October last year. In the US, the focus is on distributor E&J Gallo. “We need to build awareness of the story, and we need to build belief and confidence in the brand,” she says. “For the past two years we’ve brought 150 of our US colleagues to Jura in May and June.” At which point it’s job done, like the cynical buyer we met earlier, and the same goes for the 8,000 tourists who visit the distillery each year. “Once there you can’t help but take it to your heart,” says Beeston, who fell under its spell eight years ago while working for Bowmore.

Isle of Jura Superstition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted from 13% peated barley (the barley is peated to 40 phenol ppm) and 87% unpeated barley. Once the whisky has been distilled, it is matured up to 21 years in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. The whisky has a subtle aroma of smoke, olives, marzipan and marinated beef. The whisky gives way to notes of cloves, cinnamon, nuts, heather and peat on the palate, and finishes with a warming touch of honey and cedar. Isle of Jura Superstition earned the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the Beverage Testing Institute Competition in 2012.

User Notes about the Distillery

Willie Cochrane, the other brand ambassador, started at the Jura distillery as a mash & still operator in 1976. Soon after, he was promoted to the dual roles of brewer and engineer. After thirty years, he became the distillery manager. Jura has been helped yet overshadowed by the great whisky boom on Islay next door, where there may be a dozen distilleries before long. But Jura is starting to forge its own path with a different style of whisky that’s more Highland in character. Those who taste it may one day visit to find an island the size of Inner London with barely enough people to fill a single street, and where the deer outnumber the locals by 35 to one. 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. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

Origin" – a ten-year-old whisky, a non-peated malt having a "heather honey" finish [ citation needed]Drag the most hard‐bitten supermarket buyer to this remote corner of the Inner Hebrides and it’s job done for Beeston and her team. Once the buyer has given up on their futile quest for mobile reception or Wi‐Fi, they will succumb to this magical isle. 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.” From April 2018 Jura’s core range of Origin, Superstition, Diurach’s Own 16 Year Old and Prophecy will be removed from sale. 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 location [ edit ] Jura Two-One-Two whisky was named after the 212 inhabitants of the island of Jura.
