Visiting The World's Whisky Island | Islay

Video Description

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! 🍿 WATCH NEXT: SPEYSIDE: https://youtu.be/nfaksXDqXOY NIKKA WHISKY: https://youtu.be/ewdWuohMps0 CAMPBELTOWN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TACrVYc-1tA&t=409s ISLE OF JURA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS9YI2M0hSU&t=535s ORKNEY ISLANDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdqewBUnKM&t=2s EXTRA CONTENT ON PATREON: 🎬 Get access to exclusive uncut and bonus videos, behind-the-scenes content and sneak peeks into future projects - https://www.patreon.com/ruthaisling 🚌 My Scotland Group Trips: https://ruthaisling.com/group-trips/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 My Scotland Google Map: https://geni.us/L7sek2P 💌 Free Scotland Travel Guide: https://ruthaisling.com MY OTHER SOCIALS: 📸 INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/ruthaisling 🎥 FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/ruthaisling 📱 TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@ruth.aisling 🌍 WEBSITE - https://ruthaisling.com MY FAVOURITE TOOLS & GEAR: 🚽 Trelino - The best van toilet (Use code RUTHAISLING for a discount or gift): https://geni.us/lC0UmdH 🔋 Bluetti - My favourite van portable batteries (Use code BLUETTIRA for 5% discount): https://geni.us/ewxrm1v 🎵 Epidemic Sound - Music in my videos: https://geni.us/a1Qq WHO AM I? If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years.
