Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky 19 Years The Paps Malt Whisky 0.7L 45.6% Isle of Jura Jura is located on the Isle of Jura, which is on the west coast of Scotland. The history of whisky distillery on the island goes back a long way. Whisky is said to have been produced here as early as the beginning of the 17th century. In 1875, John Ferguson and Sons were named as the official owners, who had to sell the distillery at the beginning of the 20th century after they could no longer pay the rent for the buildings. The distillery stood idle for a while, as new buyers were not found until the middle of the same century. Two locals from the island had a completely new distillery built with the help and financial support of Mackinlay MacPherson and an engineer and architect. They wanted to create more jobs for the locals, but this did not last long. In 1985 the distillery was sold on to Invergordon Distillers and thus came into the possession of Whyte & Mackay. Further changes of ownership followed, and it was finally transferred to the current owner, Emperador International Ltd. The Jura Sherry Cask Collection The Collection is a series of four whiskies from the Isle of Jura house and are named after various characteristics of the island house of the distillery, including The Sound, The Road, The Loch and finally The Paps.
