Whisky - The Islay Edition is a one-hour documentary special about the magic of the golden liquid called whisky and the small island off the coast of Scotland which has been called &'the Capital of Whisky.&' The Scottish island of Islay is home to eight world famous whisky distilleries brewing authentic blends consisting mainly of peat, water, barley. Viewers can finally learn the differentiation between whisky and the American and Irish style whiskey.

The complete process of making whisky is divided into eight parts, and each Islay distillery is featured in the film to display one part of this process. The eight distilleries featured are (in order of appearance): Ardbeg, Kilchoman, Bowmore, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Bruichladdich. Each distillery has its own distinguished style of making whisky.

Whisky - The Islay Edition tells the history of whisky and how it is made while introducing viewers to the great Islay distilleries and people that make it possible. The film also provides a tour of Islay itself, island of myths and legends, and even features a lesson in how to properly prepare a whisky tasting.
