Whisky - The Islay edition is part of a series about the magic of the golden liquid called whisky. The first documentary takes us to a small Scottish island called Islay. It is the home of 8 world famous whisky distilleries. Whisky consists mainly of peat, water, barley and most importantly, it is made by people. All of these ingredients are found on the Islay island. This island close to Ireland is 25 miles long and has a wide variety of landscapes, animals and historic sites.
The complete process of making whisky is divided in 8 parts. The different distilleries represent each a part of this process. The 8 world famous distilleries are (in order of appearance): Ardbeg, Kilchoman, Bowmore, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Bruichladdich. Each distillery has its own distinguished style of making whisky.
The story gives us an overview of how the 8 distilleries operate, how whisky is made, the history behind it, how to do a whisky tasting and of course the magical island of Islay itself.
