“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!”
