Once again, our annual whisky festival returned to our island distillery with a host of one-of-a-kind tasting experiences and new ways to enjoy Jura Single Malt Whisky.

For 2017, we threw open the rather heavy doors of our cooperage to a day of live music from acts including the legendary Scots Trad band Rura, served whisky, cocktails and a specially created Tastival baby ale by Drygate at our new look bar.

In the Grain Store, we welcomed you to join us at the Jura Long Table to sample local Jura cuisine from our neighbours at The Antlers Tea Room, while sharing a whisky and getting to know some of our distillery team and locals.

Meanwhile, whisky lovers discovered the different sides of Jura and learned how our landscape and community has inspired our range of whiskies, donning their wellies and much needed waterproofs as they headed out by bus to explore the island in our All Terrain session.

Some visitors were also lucky enough to shake hands with Gregg Glass, our new Blender & Whisky Maker, as he hosted an exciting tasting session with bubbles, pastilles, lollipops and all; and a special visit from our very own Whisky legend and Master Distiller, Richard Paterson. In fact, all around the distillery we enjoyed celebrating our beautiful island home and community over a glass of whisky with friends new and old.

We hope you agree, Jura Tastival 2017 was truly special! Thank you to all who came, and to those who didn’t make it, we hope to welcome you to the distillery in years to come.

For the chance to win* a bottle of special edition Jura, tell us what makes Tastival a great experience for you in our short survey.

Whether you attended or not, your opinion matters to us. We know our island is a long way from home, so what would make a future trip worth it for you?
