According to the formal classification of the Scotch Whisky Association, the whisky-producing islands, except Islay, belong to the Highlands region. But for convenience, these islands fall under the informal whisky region The Islands. These are the Orkney Islands, Skye, Arran, Mull and Isle of Jura. The whiskies of these islands have nothing in common, by the way. Except that they come from an island.
Orkney is not a whisky brand. If a bottler releases an edition with 'Orkney' in the name, it will be Highland Park single malt whisky from the distillery of the same name in the Orkneys. So this is a 16-year-old, bourbon cask-matured HP whisky. (54%)

Jura is located just above Islay, famous for its peated whisky. The Jura whisky is not peated. You'll find honey and fresh fruit and a bit saltiness in the profile. As is also the case with this 10-year-old. With a 40% and nice price a good entry-level.

Smoke and the sea, those are the first words that come to mind with this Talisker Storm single malt whisky. In addition to yellow and red fruit, salty notes, seaweed, bacon, smoked fish play a key role. That produces an interesting dram!
Just above whisky island Islay is the small island of Jura. And that's where this single malt whisky comes from. A special Jura, this bottling of Elixir Distillers. It is a 29-year-old blend of a couple of casks, at quite a 'slimmed down' percentage.
Machrie Moor is the brand under which Arran releases peated malt. And within this brand there are the Cask Strength bottlings in a limited edition. The Machrie Moor's have their own character, different from the peated Islay's for example.

Following the first batch in 2020, the Isle of Skye's Torabhaig Distillery releases a large batch of their peated, traditionally distilled single malt whisky in 2021. A young whisky of course, but already quite complex. Matured in bourbon casks. (46%)
In 2013, the Arran Distillery released a bottling called Millennium Casks. The spirit for this single malt whisky was vatted on December 31, 1999 and January 1, 2000 (35 bourbon and 10 sherry casks). After 13 years this resulted in 7800 bottles at 53.5%.
The Arran Distillery is also doing 'finishing' these days. This bottling, for example, is finished in port casks and that gives the single malt whisky notes of hazelnut, strawberry jam and mandarin oranges. All well in balance with the Arran profile. 50%
The well-known 10-year-old standard bottling from the Talisker Distillery on the Isle of Skye has been given a new look. Label and box express the maritime character of this malt, which further stands out with notes like sweet smoke, peat and pepper.
