It's the reason why you can taste the difference in every drop. You see, the taller the still, the purer the spirit. On a mission to produce a spirit unlike anything else, the distillery manager William Delmé- Evans, went to extreme lengths to ship unusually tall stills to an island which has been called 'the most un-get-at-able place' (by George Orwell, author of 1984, written in a remote farmhouse on Jura). In 1963, after years of economic depression, the islanders felt it high time to revive the economy by rebuilding Jura's distillery from scratch a monumental feat achieved through determination, endeavor and true community spirit. The island's single road leads to the distillery and island's only pub which lie at the heart of Jura's small but passionate community of around 200 people.Įstablished in 1810, the distillery fell into disrepair and closed in 1901. Rough, rugged and elemental, it's only a few miles from the mainland, though to visitors it can feel like an entire world away.
