Distillery Tours
Islay is home to nine of the world's most celebrated whisky distilleries — and no two are alike. From the fierce medicinal peat of Laphroaig to the unpeated elegance of Bruichladdich, the progressive innovation of Kilchoman to the cult following of Ardbeg, the island covers the full range of what single malt Scotch can be. All nine are within thirty minutes of Islay House.
We can plan a bespoke whisky itinerary for a small fee around your palate and your pace — whether that means visiting all nine over several days, spending a full afternoon at a single distillery with a private tasting and masterclass, or building your stay around Fèis Ìle, the annual Islay Whisky Festival in late May when every distillery holds its own open day.
These can be arranged via email or phone — please contact us after booking.Other attractions
