Established in 1810, the Isle of Jura is found north-west of the Island of Islay. As with many other Scotch distilleries, Jura went through a rough patch in the first half of the 20th century. It wasn't until 1960, when two local estate owners, Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith rebuilt the distillery and introduced taller stills that Jura was able to create a wider mix of malts. Jura’s Whiskies are just as unique as their place – a range of rich, seafaring Whiskies – some lightly peated, others carrying a heavier peated profile.
The Isle of Jura Turas Mara honours the islanders who migrated to North America in 18th and 19th century, ‘Turas Mara’ meaning long journey in Scots Gaelic. It is a non-age statement single malt matured in mixture of Bourbon barrels, Sherry butts, French Oak Casks and port pipes. The choice and sheer number of different casks reflects the exotic and unique flavour that comes from wood sourced from around the globe. This Single Malt will simply leave you craving for more and everso a little more…

Marc,
Smoky
eric,
Good mix between the sweet and smoke
Jim,
Nice and balanced. Will buy this one again.
Mel,
Nose of vanilla with a beautiful light amber color. Caramel on the tongue with a light finish. Good for new scotch drinkers but it's a little boring for me.
Alex,
Very light and enjoyable drink. Very good for someone looking for an introduction to single malts; it doesn't hit you in the face with smokiness but still brings you all you enjoy in a single malt. Might be too simple for the experienced drinker, but still worth a spot on the bar.
