Island with butcher, Whisky Galore there (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

islay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'whisky galore there' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'island with butcher' is the wordplay.
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'butcher' becomes 'slay' (both can mean to murder).
'i'+'slay'='ISLAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for islay that I've seen before include "Argyll island" , "Scottish island" , "malt from here!" , "Isle known for distilleries" , "part of the Hebrides" .)
