Bruichladdich
Islay’s self-styled progressive distillery produces unpeated (Laddie), heavily peated (Port Charlotte) and super-heavily peated (Octomore) spirit on the same site. Terroir-obsessed and determinedly independent-minded.

Lagavulin
Iconic Islay distillery on the southern shore, Lagavulin produces some of the most intensely peated, deeply maritime whisky in Scotland. The 16 Year Old is a benchmark Islay dram.
Laphroaig
The most polarising of the Islay distilleries — enormously peated, heavy on iodine and TCP notes. Laphroaig is Marmite whisky, and that’s exactly how its fans want it.
Ardbeg
Islay’s cult favourite. Ardbeg 10 is widely considered one of the best 10-year-old single malts in Scotland full stop, and the Committee membership programme built a fanbase before cult-brand marketing was fashionable.
