It's all about Brett!!!

It's been a few days, we have been really busy on our scotch tour, they are literally full days. We thought we would have some down time but it has not been that way at all. The ferry ride across to the Isle Of Islay was two hours and it was a very rough ride over, so needless to say it was not a enjoyable experience for me. Once we arrived though it certainly was worth the experienc it is an absloutey beautiful Isle and a small isle with a population of only 3000 people. The roads are mostly one lane and they are very small so two cars at a time can not go through at the same time, and being a small town every time you drive by another car or someone walking they give the good old wave. It also houses 6 scotch distilleries..acutally they call it whisky(notice there is no e) We toured two of the distilleries her and they were very informative.Brett sampled alot to even on the ones we did not tour they still have two sometimes three free samples. The first picture below it at the Lagavulin distillery(Bretts favorite one) and Brett had a chance to sample some whiskey right out of the cask just before it was going to hit the barrells where it will have to sit for 16 years before they can bottle it to sell, so we need to come back in 16 years to buy a bottle...lol. The second picutre is a bar here on the island that we were in for lunch and they have a selection of over 300 whisky's it was pretty impressive even for someone who is not a whisky drinker. It has been a great tour full of lots of information on whisky and the history of not only the island but also the main land. today we head back across to the mainland on the ferry once again (ugh) to wind down our visit of Scotland. Cheers!!
