This month we wrap up our exploration of the Five Whisky Regions with a visit to Scotlands unofficial sixth region. Currently part of the Highland Region, there are six distilleries scattered over five islands: Orkney, Skye, Mull, Jura, and Arran; with more in the works (Islay is it’s own thing). There is considerable sentiment among whisky aficionados, and within the industry, to create a separate Island Region. Is there such a thing as “Island Character,” or is an accident of geography/geology being used to push a marketing agenda? Let’s find out.
