Jura Distillery

The first official whisky production plant was established on Jura in 1810. The hardships of existence in such an inaccessible place made the life of not only the few inhabitants but also the only production plant located there a misery. After many years the plant was forced to close down its production. But in 1963 the fire was lit again within the walls of the distillery, and fresh distillate flowed from the stills. The whisky manufactured here today is well known worldwide for its unique profile and breaking of the moulds.

Tasting notes

„A magnificent example of Jura, which retains that distillery’s character (maritime, lightly oily), adding delicious complexity, yet remaining fresh and lively.”
