Enjoy reading: Isle of Jura Distillery in the 1880s by Alfred Barnard. Of course Barnard visited the Isle of Jura Distillery as well. It’s a fascinating book and a must have for the true whisky lover. About his journey and distillery visits he wrote a book called ‘The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom’, describing in great detail and wonderful style the distilleries of that era.

The distillery finally reopened in 1963 providing jobs for a quarter of the male workforce on the island. The new distillery was built on the same location using some of the old ruined buildings. Somewhere around 1950 a few people on Jura got together and decided to restart the distillery, creating jobs for the island. In the early 1900’s the distillery was dismantled and the buildings became a ruin.
The distillery was rebuilt in 1884 and produced 64,000 gallons per year back then. Ever since at Jura Distillery they have been using their incredibly tall stills to create a uniquely crafted mix of whiskies that set Jura apart from all other. The whisky produced then was peaty from character, which differs considerably from the whisky produced today. The Campbell’s from Jura built the distillery around 1810.
