Called 'The Queen of the Hebrides', Islay's natural resources - fertile soil, extensive peat bogs and wonderful soft peaty water - sea breezes and traditional distilling processes combine to produce the most easily distinguishable of whiskies with many devotees worldwide. | |
Though you may find it remarkable that an island only 25 miles long can support eight distilleries today, at one time the island supported twenty-one distilleries. In the 1793 Parish Account for Kildalton, the Reverend Robertson reported that 'this island hath a liberty of brewing whisky.' | SCOTLAND |
