During the summer the island has a direct passenger ferry link between Craighouse on Jura and Tayvalllich on the Scottish mainland. [64] This service is run by the community. At Westminster, Jura is represented as part of a constituency also called Argyll and Bute, which is held by Brendan O'Hara, also of the SNP. Nose: Hits the nose with a moderately abrupt blast of spicy citrus dominated by oak, cloves, and allspice, with notes of lemon and oats, and evened out by a touch of honey. That gradually transitions into a sweeter, mellower mix in which honey and slightly tart green apples are the primary flavors – almost pushing into sauvignon blanc territory – with a touch of the aforementioned spices and faint floral notes. When the Isle of Jura’s sole eponymous distillery chose the name for its signature, single-malt whisky, they wanted it to “(tell) of a passion rekindled, a distillery reborn.” They’re presumably referring to 1963, when the distillery was re-founded, and they settled on “Origin,” which the box says is the 10-year-old whisky “that started the Jura journey.” In 2015 a new distillery was established in Ardlussa at the north of the island, producing Lussa Gin, [59] and in 2021 the island's first rum distillery opened in Craighouse producing Deer Island Rum. [60] Both are small batch, locally owned distilleries.On the nose, there is caramel as well as oak, subtle floral notes and what I can only describe as a pleasant tartness. Additionally, there is the slightest hint of countryside peat. On the tongue, it is light and delicate, with notes of caramel, honey, oak and a slight nod toward sweet apples. It feels also a little drying on the mouth, but the taste makes up for this. Beinn a' Chaolais (Gaelic: 'mountain of the kyle') is the lowest of the Paps, reaching 733 metres (2,405 ft). [18] [17]

Jura is also noted for its bird life, and especially for its raptors, including buzzards, golden eagles, white-tailed eagles and hen harriers. [67] Since 2010 Jura has been designated by NatureScot as a Special Protection Area for golden eagles. [69] Like many other parts of the Hebrides and western Scotland, the shores of Jura are frequented by grey seals, and the elusive otter is also relatively common here, as is the adder, the UK's only venomous snake. [67] The seas around Jura form part of the Inner Hebrides and the Minches Special Area of Conservation due to their importance for Harbour porpoises. [70] Literary accounts edit To Norway, the islands became known as Suðreyjar (Old Norse, traditionally anglicised as Sodor), meaning southern isles. The former territory of Dal Riata acquired the geographic description Argyle (now Argyll): the Gaelic coast. If you’re looking for any remaining bottles at your store, look for the box emblazoned with a triskele – a triple spiral that actually fits into Celtic tradition, as opposed to the Egyptian hieroglyph-like symbols on other bottles. Jura previously indicated that the triskele is the Celtic symbol for birth and beginnings. History aside, I’ve preferred to see the symbol as representing the cyclical nature of the world, which seems fitting as Origin apparently enters its waning days. In 2018 a new business hub opened in Craighouse consisting of four units adjacent to the community petrol pumps. These currently house three local businesses - a photography gallery, Deer Island rum distillery, and a craft shop - as well as the local bus garage.
