On the south coast of a legendary island, this Secret Islay is one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries, renowned for its bold, powerfully peaty creations. Founded in 1815, it came close to extinction on several occasions, but the passion of whisky lovers saved it, and today it is cherished by thousands of fans around the world. Its single malts are unmistakable for their intense smoky aromas, mingled with hints of lemon, dark chocolate and spices. One of its bottlings is even named after a whirlpool that winds its way around the island. With intriguingly named editions such as “Uigeadail” and “Corryvreckan”, this distillery is a must for lovers of peat and character.

So, have you guessed?
