Islay is the greatest of whiksy islands, much of it deep with peat - making thewater flow dark and brown; battered by salt winds, rain and the cold scottish seas of the inner hebrides. It is said that a dram of islay whisky gives the unmistakable taste of Scotland. The 8 distilleries on the island are fmaous throughout the world for thier peaty characteristics and dry finish, behing the smoke, however, the gentle mossy scents, traces of seaweed and just a hint of spice.
