The Hamiltons Malt Scotch Whisky range is aimed at the discerning drinker who is looking for the opportunity to try excellent malt whiskies from the four main regions of Scotland.
Islay is an island just off the west coast of Scotland. Surrounded by the sea, the distilleries on this island have traditionally relied on peat to malt their barley and as a result their whiskies are very smoky and medicinal. They also gain salty, seaweed-y characteristics from the damp sea air.
