{"title":"Islay","description":"\u003cp\u003eIslay is a small island off the west coast of Scotland that punches far above its weight in the whisky world — home to some of the most iconic and intensely flavoured single malt Scotch whiskies ever produced. The island's unique combination of peat bogs, Atlantic sea air, and centuries of distilling tradition gives Islay whiskies their unmistakable character — bold peat smoke, iodine, brine, and seaweed, balanced by rich fruit and warming spice. Legendary distilleries including Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Ardbeg, and Bowmore call Islay home, each producing whiskies with their own distinct personality. If you love big, smoky, complex drams, Islay is where your journey begins. Shop Islay whisky at Bathirst Liquor — available in store at Greystanes, Prospect and Pendle Hill, or order online for delivery Australia-wide.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lagavulin-islay-single-malt-16yo-700ml","title":"Lagavulin Islay Single Malt 16yo","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"1237\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"932\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eLagavulin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most celebrated \u003cstrong data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003epeat-forward single malts from Islay\u003c\/strong\u003e, renowned for its \u003cstrong data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003eintense smokiness, rich complexity, and refined depth\u003c\/strong\u003e.
