Islay

Islay whisky has a reputation for peat, smoke and sea air, but the region is more varied than the stereotype suggests. Yes, it can be medicinal, coastal, ashy, oily and powerful. It can also be citrusy, mineral, sweet, floral and highly precise, depending on the distillery and cask.

Why the region matters

This page works well for customers who want a clear route into one of Scotch whisky's strongest regional identities. Some bottles are built for peat lovers. Others are more nuanced, but still unmistakably Islay.
