The Islands regions is the most diverse of
the whisky producing regions in Scotland. It comprises of all the Scottish
islands with the exception of Islay, which is classed as it's own 'region'. The
islands producing whisky are the Isle of Skye, Mull, Arran, Orkney and Jura.
Orkney in off the northern Scottish coast and the other islands are on the west
coast. Some whisky experts don't class the islands as a region in itself but
put them together with the Highlands.
Island Whisky Production
Being the most diverse of the Scotch whisky
producing regions the whiskies produced on the islands are varied with no real
similarities. What is common with them all is a sweet pungent aroma and taste
which is in perfect harmony. Because of the distilleries being near the sea
there is a marked salinity to the whiskies. Some of the whiskies will be pettier
than the other, with Talisker from Skye being a notable peaty whisky.
