On the remote Isle of Jura, where deer outnumber people and the sea mist wraps the land in mystery, whisky-making is more than tradition, it’s a way of life. Jura 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky captures the island’s rugged beauty and warm community spirit in every drop. Matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks, it offers a balanced dance between gentle smoke, rich sweetness, and coastal charm.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1810 and revived in the 1960s, Jura Distillery is the beating heart of the island. With tall stills that produce a lighter spirit and a style that blends gentle smoke with rich sweetness, Jura has become known for whiskies that are as welcoming as the islanders themselves.
