Isle of Jura Distillery

Owned by Whyte and Mackay (Emperador Inc.) · Craighouse, Islands (Jura), Scotland · Founded 1810

Founded 1810 on the Isle of Jura — population ~200. Mothballed for much of the 20th century; revived 1963 to keep population on the island. Both peated and unpeated production. George Orwell wrote 1984 in a Jura farmhouse just up the coast from the distillery.
