Although the original Jura distillery was founded in the early 1800s, the rebuilt distillery is a 1960s classic, one of many that emerged during this boom period. A light smoky character is found in this whisky, accompanied by flavors such as applewood and vanilla. This evolves into meaty notes on the finish.

This bottling is dedicated to the Swiss physician, naturalist, humanist, polyhistorian and encyclopedist Conrad Gessner (1516-1565). In his book 'The History of Four Foot Beats and Serpents', Gessner described and drew the mythical animal Seawolf on page 580. The distillery's current logo is taken from Conrad Gessner's notes.
