 Like
Speyside the Islands
are not officially a whisky region, the
Islands is another subdivision of the
Highlands Region. The Islands are a geographical region rather than a characteristic one.
The Islands region includes all of the
whisky producing Isles of Scotland
namely Mull, Skye, Orkney, Arran, Jura
and Lewis. The Isle of Islay is considered a
region on its own.
Due to the location
of the Islands distilleries their
whiskies tend to have a coastal feel to
them. They are slightly more peaty in
character than most highland malts but
not to the extent of peatiness that you
will find in Islay malts. The peatiness
is generally softer and sweeter than
there stronger cousins from Islay.
