For Immediate Release: 31st January 2011.

• Islay for sale!
• Iconic web domain name to be auctioned.

The owner of the iconic domain name Islay.com has announced its auction over the internet.

German IT entrepreneur Dr Clemens Dillmann has previously operated the site for whisky enthusiasts but has withdrawn his interests in the whisky market and will offer the site to a new owner. 

The domain name – www.islay.com – will be auctioned on eBay (item number 190497112612) with the auction scheduled to finish at 16.05 hrs on Thursday 10th February.

It is expected that www.islay.com will be of interest to the island’s many distillers, as well as tourist authorities, community groups or even a B&B operator.  “As I have no plans to continue in this market,” explained Dr Dillmann “it seemed best that the domain should go to a new owner and an internet auction seems the fairest way to find the right buyer.”

Bidding started at £0.99 and concludes at 16.05 hrs on Thursday 10th February.
