Islay – on Islay, whisky is life and life is whisky.
Furthermore, to quote Leo Tolstoy, ‘life is love’. You’ll rarely meet an Ileach who isn’t greeting you with ready cheer whilst pressing a dram into your hand.
The island is known for its peat smoke – peat reek to some – and they take their whisky seriously too.
Once the seat of the Lord of the Isles, men to rival any King of Scots, Islay is a Gaelic culture, a story-telling, welcoming place with people at its heart.
No wonder the whisky is as memorable as the place! – South Star
