Some whisky experts don't class the islands as a region in itself

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.
