Island Single Malts

Whisky producing regions of Scotland

Island Single Malts is a general term for single malt Scotch whiskies produced on the islands around the perimeter of the Scottish mainland. The exception is Islay, which is considered a separate whisky producing region (see Islay whisky). The islands are not a recognized whisky producing region as such, but are considered to be part of the Highland region.

Although people sometimes think that "Island" whiskies have similar smoky or peaty overtones to the whiskies of Islay, this is far from true.^{[citation needed]} The whiskies produced on the Islands are extremely varied and have few similarities.
