Established in 1810, Jura Distillery came into the hands of Messrs. James Ferguson and Sons in the year 1875. The new owners immediately set about a restoration costing #25,000.
The No.1 Maltings was a granite structure which stood some 3 storeys in height. At it's North end stood a Kiln measuring 48 feet square. The gearing of the Mash-tun was driven by a water-wheel.
The Whisky produced was pure Highland Malt. The annual output in 1884-85 was 60,339 gallons, 1885-86 65,000 gallons, but the works, at that time, were capable of making 180,000 gallons.
