Kilchoman
Islay’s first new distillery in 124 years when it opened in 2005, and a true farm distillery — growing its own barley, floor malting on site, bottling at source. The cafe is widely regarded as the best lunch on Islay.

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.
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.
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.
