You may have heard of the whiskey brand named Jura. But I bet you did not know, that this whisky is created in one of the most remote places in the world! The brand Jura is also founded by the inhabitants of this tiny island.
A labor of love: Jura whisky
The Isle of Jura is part of Scotland. Jura is located no less than forty kilometers off the coast of the main Scottish land. The island is inhabited by a population of only two hundred people. Because it is so thinly populated, Jura has only one road, one pub, one hotel, and one store. What makes the island extra special is that it also has one distillery. The distillery is responsible for a big part of the islanders’ employment. Jura’s single malt whisky is the result of all the resident’s hard work!
Hard work, love, and craftsmanship can be found back in the taste of this whisky.
Finding harmony in contradiction
What makes the Jura single malt so special is that the west side of the island is blasted by the Atlantic Ocean, while the east side is soft and delicate. That combination creates a gentle smoke-like flavor. These two contradictory elements still come together to create a special balance, and that is exactly what makes the Jura single malt so unique!
