The closest distillery to Port Askaig, Coal Ila is in a stunning location, overlooking the Paps of Jura. Pronounced 'Cull-Eela', the distillery is owned by Diageo and the whisky produced here goes into Jonnie Walker, hence being the biggest producer on Islay. Having said that, do not underestimate their single malt. For information on tours, tastings and visits, please see their website malts.com/en-row/distilleries/caol-ila
