This region includes the islands of Skye, Orkney, Arran, Mull, Jura, and the Isle of Harris. The whiskies produced in the Islands are known for their diverse and distinctive characteristics, influenced by the maritime climate and unique geography of each island.

Flavour Profiles:

Peaty and Smoky: Some Islands whiskies, like those from Skye, are known for their pronounced peat smoke, similar to Islay whiskies but often with a unique maritime twist.

Maritime Influences: Many whiskies from the Islands exhibit briny, salty notes due to the proximity to the sea, adding a distinctive maritime character.

Diverse Range: The flavour profiles can vary widely from island to island, with some whiskies being sweet and malty, while others are smoky and spicy. This diversity makes the Islands region particularly interesting for whisky enthusiasts.
