I really appreciate hearing how friends and colleagues adjusted to the lock-down by trying to utilize the time at home to learn and do new things. I find it to be an interesting parallel between Orwell needing solitude and isolation to be able to complete his novel and the recent isolation some of us felt during the pandemic. The Isle Of Jura is also known for The Paps of Jura, and as being the location where George Orwell escaped the noise and distraction to finish his classic dystopian novel 1984. The Isle is also well known for its red deer population, which numbers close to 6,000, although I believe that they have less to do with the distillery’s operation. The occupations of the 200 or so residents, for the most part, have something to do with the distillery. One distillery, one road, one pub, one hotel, one shop, and one whirlpool. There were once as many as 23 operating distilleries on the island (currently there are nine, with plans in the works for two more). Islay is well known for its history of distilling.
While the Isle Of Jura may be only a five-minute ferry ride away from Islay, and be relatively the same size in acreage, it has a much smaller population of both humans and whisky distilleries. It should also be noted that by clicking the buy link towards the bottom of this review our site receives a small referral payment which helps to support, but not influence, our editorial and other costs. This in no way, per our editorial policies , influenced the final outcome of this review. Editor’s Note: This whisky was provided to us as a review sample by Jura Distillery.
