Islay

This is one of the largest islands in Scotland, but certainly the largest whisky island in the world. This island breathes whisky with the most number of distilleries per square kilometer. Big names like Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Lagavulin have been making whisky for over 200 years. The island is known for its peaty character, but there are also distilleries here that do not use peat at all.
