Islay isn't a brand. Its one of the 4 Scotch regions.

idd.. I think there are quite a few Islay distilleries.

Off the top of my head, Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Bowmore are all Islay Whiskys, and they are all different :)

edit: just re-read the posts, to be fair he did say he would look out for Islay brands, not "the Islay brand".
Anyway, there are 5 Scotch Regions again since Campbeltown was given it's regional status back.

A "Single Malt" is just the malt whisky product of a single distillery, using their particular whisky creation process.
A blend is just that -a blended bottle of "Single Malts" (and other additions to adjust flavour) from more than one distillery.


you'll see the same thing in wines - many are blends, but sometimes you'll see something labeled as "single vineyard." that doesn't mean it's better. some people may say it better highlights the individual character of the region... but you could also claim that it leads to "one-note" whiskey. if nothing else the single malts are trendy.

what about them? just get a bottle of Bulleit (bourbon or rye, both are good) and you're pretty much set.

you could drink either straight, though i generally add a splash of sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters to make a manhattan.
