NEW whisky ISLE of JURA aged 12 years Elixir.

The name Elixir refers to a local folklore. As you know, we have a tradition of drawing upon the island’s myths and legends, as inspiration for our whiskies and Elixir is no exception. This folklore say that the island’s water, used in all our whiskies, has life-prolonging and mystical health-giving properties. Several Diurachs claimed to have lived to their hundreds, including one man who, according to his gravestone, lived to be 180 years old. We obviously don’t claim that drinking whisky does make you live longer, but it’s not called the water of life for nothing you know!

The Distillery...

Whisky Isle of JURA - the Distilery:
Laird Archibald Campbell built the distillery in the early 1800’s near a cave where illegal distilling had been carried on possibly from the 1600’s. The whisky produced then was a characteristic peaty malt whisky – not at all like the present day product. The distillery was let out to many people over the years. It was leased to James Ferguson in 1875 and rebuilt in 1884 when it was producing 65,000 gallons per year...
