The story of Jim McEwan.
A journey around the world begins on a small island.
A revolution starts step by step.
One man sets out to change an entire industry.
This is his story – and with it the story of single malt whisky.
A declaration of love for taste and smell, for the beauty of home, for life itself.
A little west of mainland Scotland and a little north of Ireland: There it is, in the middle of the rough North Atlantic. Islay. The Queen of the Hebrides, Whiskey Island, home of Jim McEwan. Jim, whose name is inextricably linked to the success story of Scottish single malts, takes the reader on a journey to the most beautiful places on his island of Islay. From the legendary lighthouse in Port Charlotte to the ferry terminal in Port Ellen and the Kildalton Cross, the journey goes deeper and deeper into the most mysterious and beautiful corners of the island. Lovingly compiled and commented on by Jim McEwan, both nature and whiskey fans can enjoy wonderful insights into the raw beauty of the whiskey island of Islay.

It all started a good 30 years ago with a whisky as a gift. It came from a friend in England. The beginning of a lifelong journey of discovery.
This turned into a great passion for the flavours, for the distilleries, their stories and the people behind the whisky. Scotland has grown very close to my heart over the years and acquaintances have become friends…
