Peated island whisky: Skye, Mull and Arran

This page lists peated whisky from Scotland’s islands outside Islay with its lowest current UK price; for Islay see peated Islay whisky. Skye gives Talisker and Torabhaig, Mull gives Ledaig, the peated malt of Tobermory distillery, and Arran gives Lagg.

The Islands are a retail grouping, not a legal Scotch region; the regulations count them as Highland (see island whisky). Most peat tags here come from the distillery’s house style rather than the label. Prices are the best current in-stock offer from the UK retailers we check (how we compare prices).
