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. Jura bottles are perhaps one of the most aesthetically pleasing whiskey bottles you can find with their smooth curves and bold labeling, which means no Jura Origin review would be complete without at least a passing mention to the Origin bottle itself. As the pictures demonstrate, the Jura Origin bottle does not disappoint. When poured, the whisky has a light, caramel-gold colour. Great Britain A-Z Road Atlas 2022". Collins.

John MacDonald, the then Lord, launched a severe raid on Ross, in pursuance of this aim. Within 2 years of the raid, in 1493, the Lordship of the Isles was declared forfeit, and his realm became part of Scotland, rather than a dependency of the Scottish crown. John was exiled from his former lands, and his former subjects now considered themselves to have no superior except the king. A charter was soon sent from the Scottish King confirming this state of affairs; the charter declares that Skye and the Outer Hebrides are to be considered independent from the rest of the former Lordship, leaving only Islay and Jura remaining.

[17] The term "pap" is often used for a breast-shaped hill. There are three major peaks: 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.”

The 2010 album Poets and Lighthouses by Tuvan singer Albert Kuvezin of the band Yat Kha was recorded and produced by the British musician Giles Perring on Jura, with some of the performances being recorded in the (now largely felled) forest at Lagg. The album, which featured a photo of the Skervuile Lighthouse in the Sound of Jura as its cover, reached Number 1 in the European World Music Charts in January 2011. Census records show that Jura's population peaked at 1,312 in 1831, [4] and that, in common with many areas of western Scotland, the island's population declined steadily over the ensuing decades. However, there has been a small increase since 2001. [28] During the decade from 2001 to 2011 Scottish island populations as a whole grew by 4% to 103,702. [29] Alongside the long-term decline in Jura's population has been a decline in the number of Gaelic speakers. The 1881 census reported that 86.6% of 946 inhabitants spoke Gaelic. In 1961, for the first time less than half (46.9%) spoke the language and by 2001, this figure had dropped to 10.6%.

[65] In 1390, Donald Macdonald, Lord of the Isles, granted the MacLeans the lands of northern Jura (the lands which had belonged to the MacInnes).

In music, Jura is the subject of the first two movements ('Summer Sea' and 'The Paps of Jura') of the Hebridean Suite (1947) for cello and piano by Scottish composer Marie Dare. [77] Jura is mentioned in a song by R. Kennedy and D. MacDonald, recorded in 1997 by JCB with Jerry Holland on the album A Trip to Cape Breton; "The Bens of Jura", a song by Capercaillie; and "Isle of Jura", a song by Skyclad.

Following Godred's death, the local population resisted Norway's choice of replacement, causing Magnus, the Norwegian king, to launch a military campaign to assert his authority.
