Though you may find it remarkable that an island only 25 miles long can support seven distilleries, at one time the island supported twenty one distilleries.

The distilleries in the south of the island - Lagavulin, Ardbeg and Laphroaig - produce the most strongly flavoured, phenolic whiskies in Scotland. The distilleries to the north - Bunnahabhain, Bowmore, Caol Ila and Bruichladdich tend to be of a lighter character, indeed some specify unpeated malt and draw their water direct from springs before it has had time to pick up much peat. In spite of this, they still taste peaty!
