Isle of Jura
whisky launches Turas-Mara exclusively
in travel retail.
 Jura distillery has released a new
expression – Turas-Mara – for sale
exclusively through travel retail.
Gaelic for long journey, Turas-Mara is
inspired by the travels of the many
Diurachs who were forced to emigrate
during the 18th and 19th centuries, in
what became known as “The Clearances”,
to countries including the US and
Canada.
Turas-Mara is an expression that honours
those who carried Jura in their hearts,
as they travelled and migrated across
the globe. Jura Turas-Mara allows
travellers to experience a little bit of
Jura as they embark on their own
journeys.
Each pack is adorned with a compass to
help steer the traveller home, and a
poem written by a former resident of
Jura, Jessie Scott. Jessie lived on the
island during the 19th century and
witnessed many of its inhabitants depart
Jura by boat for the shores of North
America. The poem is an ode to her
homeland and has been immortalised on a
plaque which currently stands on Jura’s
Corran Sands beach.
Jura Distillery Manager, Willie Cochrane
said:
“The spirit of travel is reflected in
this whisky as it takes its unique and
exotic flavour from casks sourced from
America, Spain, France and Portugal. Its
fleshy notes of vanilla and toffee and
black cherries on the palate will make
duty free travellers long to visit our
wonderful island.”
Jura Turas-Mara is bottled at 42% ABV
and available to buy in selected travel
retail stores throughout 2013, with a
RSP of £40 or €50.
