Whisky Menu - Islands
The islands of Scotland produce a multitude of different whiskies varying from the volcanic and smoky Talisker to the piney Jura, indeed if a new distillery in Shetland comes online then there will be as many Island malts as ones from Islay. All the Islands have only one operating distillery with the exception of Orkney which has two the famous Highland Park and the less well known Scapa.

The Arran Malt 10yr
Creamy and smooth with hints of roots and pine nuts and minty herbs. Scotland’s newest distillery.
|
|
Highland Park 8yr
Smoky and flavoursome feels fresh young and heathery.
|
|
Highland Park 12yr
Smoky and dry palate with a lingering finish of heather-honey. This is an outstanding malt from Scotland’s most northerly distillery.
|
|
Jura 10yr
With a sweetish malty palate that develops hints of island saltiness towards the finish.
|
|
Ledaig 1990
From the same distillery as Tobermory this whisky is more oily and viscous with stronger hints of smoke and a salty peat.
|
|
Scapa 15yr
Subtle hints of peat and salt married with scents of vanilla and heather. Slightly oily perhaps due to the use of Lomond stills.
|
|
Talisker 10yr
Fiery and volcanic, described by one whisky writer as the lava of the Cuillins. Incredibly smoky with a long peaty attack.
|
|
Tobermory 10yr
Faint peat and married with a intense dry island saltiness.
