Islay's Malt Whisky Distilleries

It is believed that the Irish monks first introduced the art of distillation to Islay, during the early fourteenth century. On Islay they found an island eminently suited for the production of Uisge Beathe, (water of life) with unlimited supplies of peat, lochs and rivers filled with pure soft water.

Many distilleries opened and closed since then and nowadays Islay counts eight malt whisky distilleries. Bowmore distillery is the oldest one on Islay, Kilchoman the latest distillery that opened her doors.
