Jura 1989 Cask strength
Jura 1989
Jura Distillery lies north-east of its more fertile sister-island Islay. The island is populated by two hunderd inhabitants and are vastly outnumbered 30 to 1 by red deer. That makes some 6000 (!) deers, give or take. Its most famous resident once described Jura as "extremely ungetatable". The man who wrote thart line was George Orwell. He finished his novel 1984 on the island a few years before his death in 1950. The distillery changed hands when the parent company Whyte & Mackay was sold to Emperador Inc. It is one of the largest employers on the Island and produces around 2.2 million liters of alcohol per year. The core range exists of a 10 year old Origin, the 16 year old Diurach's Own and the peated Superstition.
