Whisky from the Islands of Scotland

Scottish island whisky encompasses single malts produced in the Scottish archipelagos outside Islay: Skye, Jura, Mull, Arran, Orkney, and Lewis. Each of these islands has a unique identity, shaped by maritime climatic conditions and centuries-old local traditions. Iconic distilleries such as Talisker (Skye), Highland Park and Scapa (Orkney), Jura, Tobermory (Mull), and Arran create whiskies with a strong personality, often somewhere between sea and peat. The island style is a cross between the Highlands and Islay: saline notes, discreet smoky touches, an iodine influence, and aromas of fruit, vanilla, and sweet spices. The island climate and sea air contribute to the oak barrel aging, bringing a saline dimension and a unique aromatic complexity. Scottish island whiskies are captivating in their diversity: some are powerful and maritime like Talisker, others sweeter and fruitier like Arran, while Highland Park offers a subtle balance of smoke, honey, and spices. True ambassadors of Scotland's wild landscapes, these malts should be enjoyed neat to appreciate their richness or slightly diluted to release their full aromatic palette.
