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.

Bunnahabhain Distillery was established in 1883 and stands at the mouth of the Margadale Spring on the shores of the Sound of Islay. Their first Single Malt was released in 1979, a 12 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. In 2010 they returned to a more traditional whisky techniques by producing their Whiskies non-chillfiltered, with a natural colour; just as they had been in the past.

Caol Ila Distillery was built in 1846 and is the largest of the distilleries on the island of Islay. Caol Ila's distillery character manages to combine a fresh pear note, grassiness, a hint of juniper with distinct notes of the seashore – lobster shells, crab creels and gentle smoke.

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.
