ISLAY WHISKY

Islay is globally recognised as one of the five Scottish whisky regions and is renowned for its distinctive
peated style.
There are currently ten operational distilleries on the island with two more under construction and planning
permission granted for a further two - highlighting continued growth in production capacity.
Peat is also supplied to mainland maltsters producing for the Islay market.
Scotch Whisky rules only allow three ingredients - water, barley and yeast. Peat smoke used in malting
provides characteristic flavour; choice of wood (eg sherry or bourbon casks) is the other variable, along
with shape of still etc.","disclaimer":{"raw":"Disclaimer - Property reference 55629LH. The information displayed about this property comprises a\n property advertisement.
