Probably. I've spent a fair few mini breaks up in Scotland ( this is the first Easter in 4 years I've not gone). Love the place.
Islay is considered a style of whisky all it's own, alongside Highland, Lowland, Speyside, and Campbelltown. The other style is Island whisky - which is basically all of the non-Islay islands grouped together, like Skye, Mull, Arran, Jura, etc.
I'm hoping I can find whisky I like when we move back to Calgary, but I tend to prefer single barrel cask strength if I can get it, or non chill filtered (46% abv or better) if I can't.
