    Visited last year and became a Laphroaig drinker. Definitely visiting and taking the distillery tour in 2025 provided God preserves me. Fantastic little documentary and much appreciated. This Scots Texan is an Islay whiskey drinker exclusively.

      Flew over in 2017 with the fam, spent the day on Islay, hired a van and driver, great guy, wife works for the Royal Post, everyone on the island is friendly beyond words, hit a bunch of distilleries before taking the ferry back. Best vacation ever. Highly recommended.

    Islay makes my favorite stuff! Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Balvenie... all so good. I took a bottle of Kilchoman to a party and a few people asked me pick them up a bottle for next time I saw them. This video just expanded my shopping list for sure

  • @androkles04
    @androkles04 5 років тому +15

    As someone who has always gone for Ardbeg when needing peaty whisky, this has made me want to to get a collection from all the different Islay brands and get a proper taste of the whole island myself. Thank you for the great video.

    • @wingracer1614
      @wingracer1614 3 роки тому +3

      If you like Ardbeg, give Port Charlotte Peated 10 a try. It has a similar blend of peat and light sweetness while still being distinct.

    Excellent vid, thank you. Was in Edinburgh, and it never occurred to me to visit this isle. Yes its a quite a trek from where we were... but we traveled from Montana, so what's another klick or 3. Didn't fall in love with the peat till a couple months ago from finding whisk(e)y only 8 months ago..... will go to this land some day.
    and again, thank you for the vid... very enjoyable...

    was there, magical. Since this video another distillary opened, Ardenhoe, tho still too new to produce much as of this writing. I heard Port Ellen will also be reopening in the coming year or two. Worth allowing time to tour a bit too, very pretty place for hiking and cycling.
