Visiting The World's Whisky Island | Islay

I visit the Scottish Island of Islay, the world’s only whisky island 🥃. The Isle of Islay, located on Scotland’s west coast is one of Scotland whisky regions, known for its Islay peated whisky and home to 9 working Islay distilleries. Islay can be accessed by a 2-3 hour ferry from Kennacraig or Oban or it’s possible to fly with flights from Glasgow taking around 45 minutes.
I take the Calmac ferry to Isle of Islay with my campervan Ernie and aswell as exploring the island, I also do my own Islay whisky tour. I taste Islay single malts at some of the distilleries on the whisky trail near Port Ellen but I also pick up some driver’s drams so I can do my own whisky tasting and decide for myself which is the best Islay whisky back at the Islay campsite.
Islay scotch is renowned worldwide and I make it my goal to visit all 9 Islay distilleries during my time on the island - Kilchoman, Laphroaig, Lagavullin, Ardbeg, Bowmore, Bunnahabhain, Ardnahoe, Caol Ila and Bruichladdich. The more Islay scotch I try, the more of a whisky fan I become!
Join me on this Scotland travel adventure through Islay as I learn more about whisky, Scotland’s national drink!

I hitchhiked through Scotland in 1977, and got picked up by the owner of the Glenfiddich distillery. He explained all about how Glenfiddich is made, why it is the best bar none, and how to appreciate Scotch in the best way. Back then there were not that many Americans hitchhiking, and he was glad to give us a ride.

You were wondering if there are more square lighthouses. Well, on the island of Terschelling here in the Netherlands there is a big squared lighthouse called 'Brandaris' named after Saint Bandarius and dating back to 1594 (though the first issue of the lighthouse dates back as early as 1323 as top of a church). The lighthouse is still in use and manned for sea traffic control. The island features also it's own whisky called 'Saint Brandaris', though it is distilled at Islay. There's also a whisky version called 'The Lost Whisky' named after an incident by which after a storm in 1969 dozens of whisky barrels washed ashore. Now this new whisky, distilled by Ardmore and after aging in bourbon and rum casks, is shipped on board of the Dutch barkentine (tallship) 'Thalassa' to sail around the world before being bottled.

Hi Ruth, just found your channel after searching for videos about Islay. I first heard of the island after reading a story about a young man called Leonard Dawson who moved to the island age 34, originally from Lincolnshire. The story goes from a little Portnahaven church over 200 mourners followed Leonard along the winding road to the foot of Ben Tart a’Mhill. On the way to the top every man had helped to carry Leonard to the hilltop as his last request was to be buried at the top. Hopefully I’ll visit one day soon. Thanks for an enjoyable tour of the island. 😊

Hey Ruth ! A very lovely video. I was aware of Islay, and Lagavulin through the American TV comedy series "Parks and Recreation". In my favorite episode, Ron Swanson,(perhaps America's manliest man) follow a series of clues to Lagavulin where his favorite Scotch is made, and is reduced to tears. Most, if not all, Bourbon barrels come from my home state of Kentucky, White Oak barrels can be used only once to make Bourbon. I hope that when you find yourself near Glasgow you will visit Renfrewshire, origin of my family name.

Hi Ruth, this video inspired me to visit Islay. I'm currently on a road trip in my little camper van. I have done the North Coast 500 and spent a couple of days on the beautiful Isle of skye. The highlight of my trip is going to be Islay. Keep the videos coming. ATB Mike.

Ruth, Your voice is delightful, peaceful, and easy to understand. We visited Scotland (but not Islay) this summer and had some trouble deciphering our tour guide's words. I'm looking forward to enjoying your other videos. Thank you!

Glad to hear that, some people do have very strong accents 😂

若い頃、スコッチウイスキーは好んで飲みました｡ジョニ黒やシーバスリーガル、バレンタイン等水割りで｡歳とっちゃって水割りは飲まないので、ハイボールで角ばかりになってしまったけど、久しぶりに大好きだったシーバスリーガルを飲みたい♪ それはともかく、ルースさんとしょうたさんのキャンビングカーの旅をまた見てみたい❤

日本ではいつもハイボールを飲むのに苦労した！ウイスキーの味が苦手だったからかな。また挑戦してみようかな？笑

I am from Australia, and only found your interesting channel last week. For a Scot you are easy to understand, and your shows are informative and very interesting. Keep up the great work.

Fabulous Islay Whisky Tour Video Ruth - Will you more of these Whisky Tours Ruth featuring more Whisky brands? This one is certainly a winner - please keep them coming - Slàinte !!! As a footnote, some years ago, l bought a Bottle of The Bowmore - 1972 - which l have never touched. I was shocked at the on-line Retail price of £1300.00 !!! Needless to say, this will go in my Coffin to accompany me when l finally depart !!!

@ruthaisling 2 месяца назад

Yes hopefully more whisky videos to come! Wow what a price that bottle is worth now!

Hi Ruth, great video as usual, I'm not a spirit drinker although when I was a driver I did load and unload a lot of whisky. my firm even loaded a boat that came in to Ayr harbour with whisky for Japan. I'll bet you had a good sleep in the van that night after all the wee tastes of whisky.

@ruthaisling 10 месяцев назад

That’s really interesting that it leaves from Ayr! I definitely had a good sleep haha

What a wonderful journey, having lived in Shetland years ago i have always been wanting to get out to the Western Isles. Right, now time to make a brew, and watch the new Speyside video! ❤

@peterowen4456 10 месяцев назад

Marvellous video - what a place! On peaty whiskies I received a bottle of Laphroiag as a present a few years ago now. Initially I hated it but I persevered. About half way down the bottle I passed from sceptic to convert!

@andrewyoung749 10 месяцев назад

now you can move on to Ardbeg. Like drinking soil. superb

@ruthaisling 10 месяцев назад

Yes I agree, I think with perseverance it's possible to start to enjoy it!

Thank you for sharing your trip. Islay, Jura & Bute with a return journey via Arran) were pencilled in for my next Scottish island hopping trip. I've now changed the pencil to ink. I suspect that you might get comments disputing the "only whisky island" in the title as the people of Mull, Arran and several of the Western and Northern isles are very proud of their own distilleries and whiskys. We found that a lot of them have also branched out into making gin as it is quicker & easier to make and also very fashionable at the moment.

@ruthaisling 10 месяцев назад

That's great Tony, I hope you have a wonderful trip there. The Port Mor campsite on Islay is brilliant if you're travelling with your van! Thanks for the feedback on the title!
