Jura Distillery, has announced the launch of a new 20 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky, in celebration of the Islands community.

On the 6th of February 2017, the Jura Distillery team got together to choose this year’s limited-edition bottling, which is said to be a celebration of island community who make the whisky what it is today.

The community on Jura, a remote and island nestled off the West Coast of Scotland, has a unique bond with whisky. Around 200 people inhabit Jura’s landscape, outnumbered by more than 5,000 red deer which roam the island’s vast, empty planes. Together, the islanders and the distillery have rebuilt a thriving local economy since re-opening the distillery over 50 years ago.

Commenting on the launch, Graham Logan, Distillery Manager said: “There’s no better way to mark the distillery team’s dedication and craftsmanship, than by creating a limited-edition expression in their honour – chosen by them. In tribute to their passion and tenacity - the shared spirit that each person brings to every last drop - this special whisky is the perfect dram to toast one and all. We can’t wait to hear what people think."

Jura One and All, will be available later this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £120.00.
