Jura Distillery

Jura's very tall stills create extensive reflux and favour a comparatively light, fruity new-make spirit. A relatively short fermentation provides a firmer cereal structure beneath that distillate, while selective peated production allows smoke to be introduced without defining every batch. American oak ex-bourbon maturation is a central part of the distillery's modern house style.

Jura's distillery character begins with unusually tall stills that encourage reflux and help produce a lighter, fruit-led spirit. Most of the core make is only lightly smoky, while dedicated peated runs give the distillery room to create more assertive styles when required. For the drinker, that means Jura can move between bright, balanced fruit and measured smoke without losing its underlying island identity.
