Secrets of Islay's Whiskies

[@cavscout62]

Visited last year and became a Laphroaig drinker. Definitely visiting and taking the distillery tour in 2025 provided God preserves me. Fantastic little documentary and much appreciated. This Scots Texan is an Islay whiskey drinker exclusively.

[@risknerd1772]

Fellow Texan (Hook 'em Horns!), but more of a Bruichladdich guy myself.

[@bevoburn]

This video seriously makes me want to plan a trip to Scotland.

[@Utube0939]

You should go! I've been to Scotland twice now and I plan on going back again to see Islay..

[@arzeboy]

Visit? Im from denmark, fuck that.. i wanna move there

[@jpthomas68]

Flew over in 2017 with the fam, spent the day on Islay, hired a van and driver, great guy, wife works for the Royal Post, everyone on the island is friendly beyond words, hit a bunch of distilleries before taking the ferry back. Best vacation ever. Highly recommended.

[@yoda1934]

Oh god yes i hope to go one day

[@yoda1934]

Respectfully inherent some wisdom

[@BoffoDennis]

A wonderful tour of Islay and the distilleries! Thank You!

[@gman5986]

Great documentary of the Islay Distilleries much different than anything I have seen before. You have captured the raw beauty of the landscape and the simple lives of the people on Islay. Thank you for producing and look forward to more whisky producing videos from you all!

[@thebrutalpostman]

I've watched this several times and have learned something new each time!

[@jasonmccool4342]

That was one of the most beautifully put together documentaries I've ever seen. Incredible. Congratulations!

[@androkles04]

As someone who has always gone for Ardbeg when needing peaty whisky, this has made me want to to get a collection from all the different Islay brands and get a proper taste of the whole island myself. Thank you for the great video.

[@wingracer1614]

If you like Ardbeg, give Port Charlotte Peated 10 a try. It has a similar blend of peat and light sweetness while still being distinct.

[@Haktarr]

I'm enjoying my evening dram of Ardbeg 10, and this was a very pleasant add-on to it. Thanks a lot!

[@floundergearjam]

Robin, - VERY WELL DONE!

[@alejandrogonzales7022]

Islay makes my favorite stuff! Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Balvenie... all so good. I took a bottle of Kilchoman to a party and a few people asked me pick them up a bottle for next time I saw them. This video just expanded my shopping list for sure

[@Metalguitarpete]

Balvenie is a Speyside

[@enzoferrari1859]

Bunnahabhaim is good also

[@HelloJamesBond]

Very well made video, hats-off! Like your unobtrusive style and the way you capture the environment, beautiful as the whiskys...Slainte

[@behradg4909]

Enjoyed this wonderfully made movie with a dram of Caol Ila. Certainly enhanced my tasting! Great job!

[@DramCam]

We just came back from our trip to Scotland and spent three days in Islay... what a magical place. We were lucky enough to avoid the crowds and long lines seen in parts of your videos... overall, an amazing trip. Great video. :)

[@dk2428]

Wonderful docu! I love the Islay whiskies, Bowmore 18 is my favourite.

[@mickmac8182]

Absolutely loved this. Really good video. 🥃

[@colc4044]

As an Ileach/from Islay I have watched a lot of programmes about Islay Whisky and I must say this has been the best.

[@XerxesGammon200]

stormislay how long does it take to go around the island?

[@Asgaia]

@@XerxesGammon200 Boat? Feet? Car? Surprisingly for me Islay is about three times bigger than Malta. I underestimated this Island.

[@anthonyp1262]

What a great video about Islay. It was thorough and insightful about each distillery. Makes me want to go back!

[@shaheedahmedlaskar]

Awesome visual treat bro✌️

[@davidduff327]

What an amazing and interesting video. Thank you so much

[@LongDefiant]

Brilliant whisky exploration. Lovely videography. Thank you.

[@kingcuz.]

My Gran lives on Islay - Funnily enough the video shot of dock in Port Ellen at 1:17, is literally right in front of her house in the seafront xD

[@dmreid9620]

My grandparents own Torrie’s shop across the road. I didn’t think I would find another Ileach amongst all these American whiskey enthusiasts but there ya go. It’s a small world

[@telephilia]

Opening a bottle of Laphroaig 10 now as I watch this.

[@mikeearls126]

my favorite.....love that flavor

[@MG-xl6zd]

:(

[@gputsche]

Excellent, informative video. Islay is now on my bucket list. Thank you.

[@DJAnthologic]

This tour's been on my bucket list,,, thanks for sharing the excellent peak. Beauty shots and great info. Bless up!

[@ravikiranmandha4005]

Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful experience with us. I really appreciate your efforts and really loved the narrative throughout the video 🙏👌

[@vincewooo]

Islay's whiskies is my favourite, I'm actually drinking it while watching this video.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

What a great video! Thank you.

[@martinneulen7050]

[@dbkfrogkaty1]

What a wonderful video on Scotch whiskeys. Learned a few things along the way. Just beginning my experience with whiskey.

[@cmorr72]

Great tour. I have only tried one of the 9 but look forward to trying them all, cheers.

[@jacopieterse138]

Greetings from South Africa, Great video. Thank you so much. That will most definitely be one trip to put on my Bucket List. I started my Islay journey with Coal Ila. I await delivery of my second tasting in the form of Laphroaig 10. Next, who knows ... Bunnahabain maybe ...

[@johnk7093]

Excellent vid, thank you. Was in Edinburgh, and it never occurred to me to visit this isle. Yes its a quite a trek from where we were... but we traveled from Montana, so what's another klick or 3. Didn't fall in love with the peat till a couple months ago from finding whisk(e)y only 8 months ago..... will go to this land some day. and again, thank you for the vid... very enjoyable...

[@DeHuwite]

Great job, Robin!! I want to take a motorcycle trip to Islay and visit all the distilleries.

[@max917]

The first 3 are 3 of some of my favorites. Thank you for the upload!

[@TheGiantAngryRobot]

[@RobinEntreinger]

[@geraldrivard5767]

This was very enjoyable to watch I do enjoy Blends and single malt I was a big Beer Drinker and now I do enjoy my scotches I enjoy your accents from Scotland I enjoy the educational part I enjoyed looking at the water because I am an active scuba diver at the age of 60. I look forward to visiting that neck of the woods on my bucket list cheers. It's amazing how you can make something taste so good with time thank you for an amazing video

[@PopArt]

Really loved this. Everything about it felt right. Islay just got bumped to my "must visit" list.

[@Rikitocker]

Loved the Cask head that said "Whisky for Girls!" ... lol

[@jda7499]

Rikitocker lol yes

[@greggorievich]

I'm three years late, but Rachel (who runs that organization) is spectacular. www.islaywhiskyacademy.scot/whisky-for-girls/

[@PaulSwarbrick]

Wish i could 'like' this a hundred times more! Such a good video. I'm already planning my visit after all the lockdowns end. Great info, and beautifully put together. Really good eye and editing for what makes a good documentary. Well done.

[@TheKnack-2004]

Hello from Singapore! I really enjoyed this.. the interviews with the local distillery staff really made the difference. I'd love to do this same tour one day as well.. thanks again.

[@PAC9322]

What an experience 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥃 Thanks for the effort

[@cato451]

[@RobinEntreinger]

+Randy Warren thanks a lot, Randy !!

[@colinharper3714]

What a great informative video with beautiful views of Islay. Planning a trip and this has helped a lot.

[@RedboRF]

what a great film thank you! it seem you got very lucky with such sunny weather out there.

[@MG-dv6wg]

Gloomy is better!

[@zzz7zzz9]

I just assumed the sunny weather was CGI'd in.

[@honeybabou6119]

It's sunny several times a day. You just have to be ready and quick to shoot.

[@MrErritsoe]

Thank you for a lovely revisit to Islay!

[@edsternet]

I loved watching this. Thanks for producing and sharing a great documentary

[@nigeq]

Great video! i found it quite amusing though that Islay is famous for peaty whiskies and yet so many of the distilleries said they are unique because their whiskeys have a low or zero peat profile

[@zaphodbeeblebrox9109]

nigeq nope very few said that

[@edwardvillate2112]

Very INFORMATIVE & well MADE !!! a BIG THANKS !!!

[@Snop69]

Really enjoyed the short crisp tour of Islay.

[@tokyootigers]

Enjoyed the video , very informative , great watching while drinking lagavulin special cask .Enjoyed the music to the video , well edited .Thanks.

[@dcpanda9]

Great documentary, really enjoyed watching this!

[@strickostricko]

You’ve got a beautiful voice and accent which compliments the film perfectly.

[@hamburgermap]

great overview and I like the simple honest approach

[@jackbrown2325]

love Islay whisky. Love Jura as well ....LOL! .

[@8888cliff]

was there, magical. Since this video another distillary opened, Ardenhoe, tho still too new to produce much as of this writing. I heard Port Ellen will also be reopening in the coming year or two. Worth allowing time to tour a bit too, very pretty place for hiking and cycling.

[@rob3518]

Had my first Ardbeg 10 last year ....WOW I am convert to Islay whiskey

[@liborduchek4544]

Very good video👍 Cant help my self, was looking and drinking laph-quarter cask and than bowmore 12😊

[@ginopezzini]

I'm in love with Islay's syrups....😻while watching, I'm enjoying a dram of Laphroaig Select

[@andrewmcdonald6208]

Thank you for the Journey to the Isles...I learned so much and hope you all keep tasting abd doing KZbin Programs...

[@makinhotcoffee6230]

I've never seen so much blue sky in one video in Scotland, what magic is this?!!!!!

[@iSpeciaIist]

Drinking a glass of Ardbeg as I watch this.

[@warefairsoda]

Me too, right now.

[@Plutokta]

Enjoying a glass of Kilchoman for my part. I started watching and just thought that i needed a drink right now.

[@alexsimons92]

Drinking a glass of bowmore 12 while watching this :). Seems like a awesome idea for a roadtrip vacation exualy actually!

[@Jesse-cy7ws]

Alex Simons me too

[@andrewpippa5590]

[@brianfoldz40]

LOVED this documentary as I have started enjoying/exploring Scotch for the last 4-5 years. I also enjoyed the background music and would love to know the names of the bands and playlist associated with it.

The real holy land.

[@HugisGuitarOfficialPage777]

[@michaelhassler7446]

What are your favorites?

[@averagedudereviewsOG]

Great video, thanks, good tour of Islay and great info on Islay Scotch

[@claes5336]

Very well made as the fine whiskies made in Islay. I´m drinking Laphroig quarter cask enjoying the scene....

[@carolynb9324]

Very good and concise profiles of Islay distillers.

[@danq.5140]

Thanks for the tour🥃

[@derbochumer8055]

Thank you for that! Small Islay-Trip for me while sitting in my office.

[@maxpowder700]

Great vid! Love the guitar singer rendition to stand by me

[@michaelgbuck]

[@jessmcmillan4310]

Piss off

[@skatekido06]

very well put together video with splendid visuals. not to mention your voice is amazing!!!

[@deepakthakkar8055]

Good tour of isle region island.

[@Paramecium914]

Love Laphroiag's select and Ardbeg's An Oa, and of course, gotta have my special occasion Lagavulin.

[@MilkBreakMinecraft]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Thanks!

[@raimae48]

Islay - a sacred place. Now I'm goin for a Lagavulin.

[@davtona]

That’s the sunniest I’ve ever seen the Western Isles, you’d need a decent dram after standing in a queue on Islay for any length of time in Winter…..

[@elsombrasargentina]

simple y lindo documental , gracias : ) - saludos desde argentina

[@umami0247]

Bucket list hopefully one day.

[@qazeqaz]

Great to watch while drinking Islay whisky!

[@hampshireoak]

Laphroaig cask strength needs a dash of water to get the best out of it, and theres the beauty you get to choose which spring water to use. I use mountain water from the Pyrenees that is free but can't be brought.

[@superman9693]

Best Islay Whisky for me personally: Bunnahabhain 12y

[@rafaelcarmo5562]

It's impossible to get where I live

[@lcdemack]

So nicely done. Thank you

[@Smithy67]

What a great video, I really enjoyed that, thank you.
