With only a few days to go, I wanted wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I hope your day is filled with joy and your stocking is filled with Jura!

On an island that takes superstition very seriously, New Year’s Day is an important time of year. That’s why we always ‘first foot’ our fellow islanders carrying a bottle of our favourite dram. This always ensures good fortune for the coming year. Not to mention, a warm welcome from whoever answer the doors.
