Islay is only in the Hebrides on questionable maps,
they stopped at Mull when I was a skuleboy, and Islay has many excellent distileries - if
you care for peaty malt. Cambelltown, at the foot of the Kintyre peninsula, equally
merits mention. And then there are all the East Coast distileries Glen Morangie,
Glenlivett and all its chums clustered around the Spey - quite different from the West
Coast malts.
I assume you know more about Islay than I do. I have visited the island
twice.
Many of my favourites come from that island - Laphroaig, Lagavulin,
Ardbeg, I have walked to all three from Port Ellen.
As for Campbelltown, Springbank is also one of my all-time favourites.
