Jura distillery is celebrating its 200th anniversary with the release of a limited edition 21-year-old which will be available to buy direct from the island or through specially selected whisky partners.

The distillery, which was founded in 1810, is the only distillery on the island and is home to single malt expressions 10-year-old Origin, Superstition, 16-year-old Diurach's Own and Prophecy.


The new 21-year-old is matured in vintage sherry casks from 1963  and each pack will contain an invitation from distillery manager, Willie Cochrane, to a special tasting of rare whiskies at the distillery. There will also be 21 stays at the Jura available for buyers of the commemorative malt.


Cochrane said: "At the distillery we are all extremely proud of this 200th anniversary expression. Not only is it an exceptional malt, it's also an exceptionally rare malt with only a few thousand people being lucky enough to be able to enjoy this beautiful whisky that has been matured in a vintage Oloroso sherry cask."
