About the distillery, from the website "Our distillery was established in 1810 and reborn in 1963 to bring back life to the island and the community.Today, almost every family on the island has a member who works in the distillery, with our distillery, or in whisky-related tourism".  

Jura distillery does have a robust history and it's commitment to the island and its economy is duly noted!
