Port Ellen, Scotland
Islay distillery founded in 1815 by brothers Alexander and Donald Johnston on the island’s south coast beside the Kilbride Stream. It still floor-malts barley on site and cold-smokes it over peat in kilns built in 1840 before drying; seven copper stills handle double distillation. Much maturation is in ex-bourbon casks by the sea. Distillery tours, a museum, shop and bar are open to visitors.

Islay single malt distillery founded in 1815 when John Macdougall took out a licence. The brand presents Ardbeg as the smokiest of the Islay single malts, balancing peat with sweetness. Closed in 1981, it was bought by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997 and returned to full-time production; a new stillhouse in 2021 doubled capacity from two stills to four. Guided distillery tours and experiences are available at Port Ellen.
