DOUBLE GOLD WINNER AT SAN FRANCISCO WORLD SPIRITS COMPETITION 2026 Islay Barrel Aged Rum is a uniquely Scottish expression, matured in oak casks that once held peaty Islay single malt whisky. Scotland’s cool maritime climate slows the ageing process, allowing deeper integration of flavours. The result is a smooth, yet bold rum with gentle smoke, sweet vanilla, and a touch of coastal salinity. 70cl ABV 46% Tasting Notes Nose: Light smoke, green bananas with caramel and leather. Palate: Sweet vanilla with sea salted caramels. More light smoke with esters and tropical fruits. Slightly medicinal edge with a coastal salinity. Complex. Finish: Mouth filling and long, reminiscent of an aged spirit.

Islay Rum Distillery The Islay Rum is the first and only rum distillery to date on the Isle of Islay, situated between Kilnaughton Bay in Port Ellen and the Borraichill. This beautiful art deco style building is steeped in Islay history and, after years of neglect, has been lovingly restored to become the home of Islay's first and truly unique rum. The building once belonged to Hastie's Lemonade and is referred to by locals as "The Old Lemonade Factory". The team chose a local building company to carry out the renovation. Hastie Construction is run by Scott Hastie, the grandson and great-nephew of Harold and George Hastie, the brothers who built the original factory by hand in 1959. The skill, care and attention which Scott has put into every detail of the work is a true reflection of family values - a real labour of love.
