Ardberg Distillery was founded in 1815 and is one of many in the Isle of Islay. The Island has abundant soft water, fertile soil and acres of precious peat making the island the perfect place for the single malt whisky making. The Distillery is known for its this combination of rich sooty/tarry smoke with a citric sweet core which gives the whisky its balance. The core of their range is now the standard 10 year-old - an exuberant, fruity, peaty dram.

Bowmore Distillery was officialy established in 1779 and is Islay’s oldest distillery. The distillery has retained its own floor maltings which account for 40% of its needs and when mixed with malt from the mainland results in a medium peated spirit. Each and every bottle of Bowmore single malt Scotch whisky has been shaped by the exquisite flavours of our carefully selected oak casks, rounded by the Hebridean air, and given character by the slow passage of time.

Bruichladdich Distillery is one of the many distilleries on the Isle of Islay. The distillery produces three distinct single malts: Bruichladdich (unpeated), Port Charlotte (heavily peated) and Octomore (super heavily peated). Bruichladdich uses only 100% Scottish barley. The distillery is a progressive one that balances traditional techniques whilst innovating and creating new spirits. They also produce gin at the distillery, their expression The Botanist is made using twenty-two botanicals to reflect the island itself.

Kilchoman distillery was founded in 2005 and is the first new distillery to be built on Islay for over 124 years. On the remote Island of Islay they distil Scotland’s only Single Farm Single Malt, hand-crafted from barley grown in the surrounding fields and malted on site.

Laphroaig Distillery was founded in 1815 and their whisky making tradition has been handed down ever since. They have their own peat fields which are essential to produce their richly flavored Scotch whiskies. The Kilbride Stream where they get their water, hand-cut peat, floor malted barley, cold-smoking kilns, mash tuns, copper alchemy and the subtlety of oak aging are all essential processes.
