WHISKY ISLAY

Islay whisky is one of Scotland's most iconic styles, renowned worldwide for its powerful, salty character. Produced on the Isle of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland, these single malts draw their unique identity from a rugged terroir and centuries-old craftsmanship. The island's legendary distilleries, such as Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Bowmore, craft peaty whiskies with an intense aromatic profile that combines smoke, sea salt, and distinctive medicinal notes. This unmistakable style stems from the traditional use of peat to dry the malted barley and the maritime influence that characterizes the aging process in oak casks. Whether heavily peated or more balanced, Islay whiskies offer a unique sensory tasting experience, prized by lovers of characterful single malts. Enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to release its aromas, Islay whisky seduces with its complexity, ranging from dense and earthy smoke to sweeter notes of vanilla, citrus and spices depending on the distillery and vintage. A true reference for connoisseurs in search of authenticity, it appeals as much to peat enthusiasts as to the curious wishing to discover one of the most legendary regions of Scottish whisky. Discover our selection of Islay whiskies rigorously chosen for their character, their balance and their ability to express all the richness of this legendary island.
