Islay belongs to the Inner Hebrides in Scotland. The island lies between the Isle of Jura and Northern Ireland. From Ireland, the whisky once crossed over to Islay and thus entered Scotland. The most important place is Bowmore. Other places of interest are Port Ellen and Port Charlotte. The population is just over 3000. With its 8 distilleries, 6 of which produce a smoky whisky, Islay is formally a separate whisky region. It is therefore also known as the Whisky Island.
A standard bottling of the Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005 on Islay. They produce the only 'single farm malt' from self-malted Islay barley. Matured on bourbon and sherry, the Machir Bay is medium smoky with sweet notes, citrus and vanilla. 46%.
Lagavulin 16 is an example of how a long distillation process and long maturing contribute to a high-quality single malt. With this bottling, Lagavulin sets a standard: a perfect balance between peat smoke, maritime tones and sherry aromas. At 43%.
For those who want to try a smoky Islay single malt whisky at cask strength, this Finlaggan is, the price considered, a good entry-level model. Any smoky Islay whiskey can be found behind the Finlaggan label. We don't know which one is in this bottling.
A sound bottling in the The Laddie series, this The Laddie Eight from Bruichladdich. This 8-year-old single malt whisky reflects the distillery character well. Bottled at 50%.
A nice example of the distillery character, this 12-year-old Caol Ila. Tough and yet subtle, and nicely balanced with the smoke and peat notes typical of Caol Ila. A good and affordable entry into the world of 'peated' Islay whisky.
