Whisky producing regions of ScotlandDistilleries on Islay as of 2011
Islay single malts are the single malt Scotch whiskies made on Islay (/ˈaɪlə/EYE-lə) or Ìle in Gaelic, one of the southernmost of the Inner Hebridean Islands located off the west coast of Scotland. Islay is one of five whisky distilling localities and regions in Scotland whose identity is protected by law.[1]
The region is characterised by whiskies with a peat smoke aroma, such as Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg.[2] In total, there are nine active distilleries on this island which measures only 25 by 15 miles (40 by 24 kilometres), and the industry is Islay's second largest employer after agriculture.[3][4] Islay is a centre of "whisky tourism", and hosts a "Festival of Malt and Music" known as Fèis Ìle each year on the last week of May, with events and tastings celebrating the cultural heritage of the island.
