Jura Forest: also lying north of Ardfin, but on the east flanks of the Paps of Jura. Forest Estate belongs to the Vestey family,, which was headed until 2021 by Samuel, 3rd Baron Vestey, chairman of the food and farming business Vestey Group Ltd, and a former Master of the Horse of the Royal Household. The owner is now his eldest son William Vestey, 4th Baron Vestey. [50] If you’re looking for any remaining bottles at your store, look for the box emblazoned with a triskele – a triple spiral that actually fits into Celtic tradition, as opposed to the Egyptian hieroglyph-like symbols on other bottles. Jura previously indicated that the triskele is the Celtic symbol for birth and beginnings. History aside, I’ve preferred to see the symbol as representing the cyclical nature of the world, which seems fitting as Origin apparently enters its waning days. Like all inhabited Hebridean islands, Jura has its own indigenous tradition of Gaelic song and poetry. [74] [75] Since 1993 it has also been the home of the Jura Music Festival, [76] which takes place annually in September.

It’s the whisky that signifies the rebuilding of our community and rebirth of the Jura distillery. On the front of the bottle is a Celtic symbol for birth, beginnings and the forces of nature. It’s something that we added to our unique bottle because we thought it symbolised our unique story, and the whisky that is at the heart of everything we do.” Throughout the year the MV Eilean Dhiura runs a regular service between Feolin on Jura and Port Askaig on Islay, with frequent sailings from 7.30am to 6.30pm Mon-Sat and a reduced Sunday schedule.

During the summer the island has a direct passenger ferry link between Craighouse on Jura and Tayvalllich on the Scottish mainland. [64] This service is run by the community. The 2010 album Poets and Lighthouses by Tuvan singer Albert Kuvezin of the band Yat Kha was recorded and produced by the British musician Giles Perring on Jura, with some of the performances being recorded in the (now largely felled) forest at Lagg. The album, which featured a photo of the Skervuile Lighthouse in the Sound of Jura as its cover, reached Number 1 in the European World Music Charts in January 2011. Beginning in the later 18th century, long before the notorious Highland Clearances of the following century, there were several waves of emigration from Jura. In 1767, fifty people left for Canada, and from then the population fluctuated, rising to a peak of 1,312 in 1831, before gradually shrinking to its 20th century level of just a few hundred. Mercer notes [27] that although relatively few forced clearances on Jura were recorded, the emigrations were due to factors such as hunger and spiralling rents.Jura is also noted for its bird life, and especially for its raptors, including buzzards, golden eagles, white-tailed eagles and hen harriers. [67] Since 2010 Jura has been designated by NatureScot as a Special Protection Area for golden eagles. [69] Like many other parts of the Hebrides and western Scotland, the shores of Jura are frequented by grey seals, and the elusive otter is also relatively common here, as is the adder, the UK's only venomous snake. [67] The seas around Jura form part of the Inner Hebrides and the Minches Special Area of Conservation due to their importance for Harbour porpoises. [70] Literary accounts edit These hills were the subject of William McTaggart's 1902 painting The Paps of Jura, [19] displayed in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. [20] History edit Early years edit A Neolithic monument at Tarbert Beinn a' Chaolais (Gaelic: 'mountain of the kyle') is the lowest of the Paps, reaching 733 metres (2,405 ft). [18] [17] The main settlement is the east coast village of Craighouse. [8] The Jura distillery, producing Isle of Jura single malt whisky, is in the village, [9] as is the island's rum distillery which opened in 2021. Craighouse also houses the island's shop, church, primary school, the Jura hotel and bar, a gallery, craft shop, tearoom and the community run petrol pumps. If however light and delicate doesn’t do it for you, there is the tempting options of perhaps Jura’s peaty & smokey Prophecy or its fruitier, spicier counterpart, Jura’s Elixir.

Jura bottles are perhaps one of the most aesthetically pleasing whiskey bottles you can find with their smooth curves and bold labeling, which means no Jura Origin review would be complete without at least a passing mention to the Origin bottle itself. As the pictures demonstrate, the Jura Origin bottle does not disappoint. When poured, the whisky has a light, caramel-gold colour.
