Ileach is the Gaelic term used by Islay locals to refer to someone born on the island, pronounced “Eee-luhk.” And what better way to introduce the smoky whiskies of Islay than to name an expression after this term? The Ileach is a creation by independent bottlers at the Highlands and Islands Whisky Company.
The Ileach Peated Islay Malt is a single malt Scotch whisky with no age statement, hailing from an Islay distillery. Well-informed enthusiasts often suggest it might come from a southern Islay distillery beginning with “L.” While the distillery itself keeps things under wraps, we know where it’s from, we know it’s peated, and we know it’s good—what more could you need to know?
