The distilleries are at the heart of life on the Hebridean island of Islay. They are loved by whisky fans around the world and the people who work in them are key members of Islay's close-knit community.

Our three hosts are Port Ellen site manager and former Lagavulin Manager Georgie Crawford, Ardbeg visitor centre manager Jackie Thomson and Bruichladdich sales manager Lynne McEwan.

They are all well-known members of Islay's whisky community, and each is bringing a selection of drams from her distillery to share with us in this masterclass. Tying in with this year's show theme, we've asked them to choose three whiskies representing the past, present and future of their distilleries. See below for the line-up – they've chosen some great drams.

Join us for some great whiskies and an insight into life on an island awash with whisky.
