ABOUT THE DISTILLERY
Jura Distillery was re built in the 1962. The original Distillery on this site was founded in 1810 in an old smugglers cave, although it was dismantled in 1901.

The first distillation since rebuilding took place in 1963 with the distillery offering employment to some of the islands inhabitants – called Diurachs.

Jura Distillery draws it’s water from Loch a’ Bhaile-Mhargaidh, meaning the ‘the market Loch’ which is 300 metres above Craighouse, which is the islands only village. The Distillery has two pairs of very tall stills with a capacity of 2,200,000 litres per year. The majority of the spirit is matured in Bourbon casks, with a small amount maturing in sherry casks. There are five racked warehouses with a total of 28,000 casks in maturation.
